Northwest India is likely to witness an increase in rainfall activities with isolated heavy to very heavy falls from June 25th. In addition, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) said in its latest update that heavy to very heavy rainfall activity will probably continue in many parts of the middle, eastern and northeastern India over the next seven days.
This matter assumes importance because the early monsoon and widespread rain across the country are likely to increase the area under the crops of Kharif.
Extremely heavy rainfall (> 20 cm/24 hours) are probably in isolated places above West Madhya Pradesh on 23.-24. June. Also very strong collisions are probably over Eastern Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Konkan, Arunacal Pradesh, Visarbha, Jharkhand, Odisha, Haryana, Pandjab, West Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Himachal Pradesh and Jammu-Kashmir-Ladakh-Gilgit-Baltistan-Muzaffarabad on 23.-27. June.
In his statement, IMD stated that the conditions are favorable to the southwestern monsoon to proceed further along the remaining parts of the Northern Arab Sea, some other parts of Rajasthan and Haryan, Pandjab, Chandigarh, Himachal Pradesh and Delhi and the remaining parts of Western Uttar Pradesh and Jammu. ”
For Western India, insulated heavy rainfall probably over Konan and Goa, Madhya Maharashtra and Gujarat State during 23-28. June, with very strong collisions over Konan and Gujarat on 23.-24. June. Light to medium rainfall is also probably above Gujarat, Konkan, Goa, Madhya Maharashtra and Marathawad from 23 to 29.
The large rain and early monsoon increased the Kharif area, while the total area was 137.84 hectares from 20 June, an increase of 12.97 Lakh hectares compared to the same period last year.
According to the latest data, the increase in the cultivated area is largely driven by a higher area of rice, pulses and coarse cereals.
Paddy area
The area below Paddy, the most important crop of Kharif, was over 58%at 13.22 lakh hectares, sowing pulses (42%) and gross cereals (22%) saw sharp spikes due to good rains and expectations of normal monsoon, as predicts IMD. The Kharif season, also known as the monsoon season, usually runs from last week to September. Kharif crops represent approximately 60% of the total Indian crops and include pads, corn, soy, tur and cotton – all strongly dependent on monsoon collisions.
According to data, the cultivation of rice has seen a significant increase, with 13.22 hectares already covered by 20 June compared to 8.37 Lakh hectares during the corresponding period last year.
Pulses also experience healthy growth in sowing, as it has reached 9.44 lakh hectares in the cultivation of the area, an increase of 42%. For Moong and Urad pulses, they showed an increase in the area, while Arhar dropped slightly compared to last year. However, the area that is in cultivation for oil seeds is slightly low. Oilseeds Sewing covered 5.38 Lakh hectares, which is slightly less than 5.49 lakh hectares last year. Cotton and sugar cane areas have also increased.
The increase in the Kharif area clearly shows that farmers are bulls on monsoon prospects. The increase in the area also distracts concerns about the stimulus when inflation. The Government of the Union has just closed a massive off -road campaign, Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan, a nationwide initiative taking place from 29 to 12 June across all states and trade unions. A campaign focused on farmers’ equipment with information, tools and technology for the sowing season.
