Primarily, maize is kharif crop in India which is sown just before monsoon. However, the crop is grown in entire India, it is predominantly cultivated in North Indian states like Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Bihar and Punjab. 

In this report, WeatherSys analyses the Maize crop status in UP on the basis of field information and its scientific crop-weather tool available at www.weatherindia.net.

In Mainpuri, the height of the crop is about 24 inches. Moderate rainfall at regular intervals during last one month was not sufficient for the maize crop. The GDD value is currently at 1814 for the crop in the district which demonstrates healthy crop. The water deficiency resulted dried upper leaves of the plants were seen in pockets.  Heavy to moderate rain is expected over the district during next 3-4 days which could improve crop health.



In Kannauj, there has been moderate rainfall during last 3 days.  The maize crop is about 24 inches now and cob formation would start in September end.  The GDD value is 1088 for the crop in the district which demonstrates late sowing. Farmers felt a good rainfall would be good for crop growth. God has heard them and moderate rainfall is expected during next 2-3 days.  

In Hardoi, there has been no significant rainfall from last 20 days. The maize crop in the district is about 12 inches high which indicates low growth rate due to water deficiency. The GDD is 1116 for the crop in the district. Meteogram indicates moderate rainfall throughout this week.

In Aligarh, good rainfall has been experienced in this monsoon season till now.  Moderate rainfall last week is beneficial for the crop.  Presently, height of the crop is about 30 inches which indicates good crop growth. The GDD value for the crop is 991 in the district. Farmers are using pesticides Super Sakti – Fenvalerate to remove insects as crop is in flowering stage.  As per the meteogram, the district would witness moderate rains in coming 3-4 days.

In Bareilly, sowing of maize was done about 45 days ago. The district has witnessed good rainfall on regular intervals in this season which resulted into good crop growth. The cob formation has started a week ago and probably harvesting would start in August end.  Moderate rainfall is likely over the district in next week, suggests meteogram.

During these crucial weeks for plant growth, resource-poor farmers could not apply appropriate irrigation which would resulted into lower yield.  However, moderate to heavy rainfall is expected in the state during next few days.   We at WeatherSys monitor Groundnut crop growth on day to day basis vis-à-vis the actual weather and weather forecast. We also gather ground information on the status of the crop and associated weather in major growing districts.  In this report we have collected the ground information from several districts in Gujarat.  In Amreli , total area under the Groundnut crop during this season is about 1.02 lakh ha.
