Records revealed that till August 23, kharif crops have actually been actually planted in around 106.5 thousand hectares-- virtually 2 percent much more than the area dealt with throughout the very same time frame in 2014 but 2.81 per-cent less than the regular land area (which is the standard of the last 5 years). The good news is actually that the areas under arhar, groundnut, soy bean, as well as cotton are actually more than their five-year average. Having said that, all eyes will be on the weather in the next couple of weeks as excess storms in September could swamp fields as well as result in lodging which is bad for the last turnout. Till August 27, the Southwest gale has actually been 7 percent much more than usual with Central and Southern India taping rainfalls which were much more than 17 per cent surplus until now in the time. With La Nina embeding in, the rainfalls may even the score more powerful.
