Deficient Rain to Affect Arhar Crop in Uttar Pradesh

According to estimate of 2013-14, with 0.30 m ha area and 0.27 MT production, Uttar Pradesh ranked 5th in area and 4th in production nationally under Arhar crop. Majority of pulses in Uttar Pradesh are rainfed crop. Here it is noteworthy that this Monsoon season Uttar Pradesh has received around 35 percent deficient rainfall.  From the available ground information it is clear that water stress will surely affect the yield of the crop in 2015-16 season. 

WeatherSys has gathered ground information of Arhar crop in Uttar Pradesh.  

In Fatehpur, there has been no rainfall from last 20 days.  Water scarcity is affecting the crop adversely. Leaves are shrinking and plants are drying due to less rainfall. This is the period of flowering and pod formation but the growth of the crop is restricted by this abiotic stress.  There are few farmers who have their own irrigation facilities and they will be less affected.  In next seven days, the weather is likely to be hot with clear sky and no likely rainfall.

In Aligarh, there has been no rainfall from last 20 days. The crop growth is good and is in seed formation stage as the sowing was started from mid-June.  Pod Borer insect has been reported in several places for which farmers are using Monocrotophos. This insecticide is highly toxic for birds and human and is banned in US.  As per FAO, protective clothing and respirator should be worn while applying the insecticide.  The weather is expected to be hot and dry with clear sky during next seven days. 

In Kanpur, there has been no rainfall from last one week.  Sowing of the crop was started in June.  The crop is in flowering stage and its harvesting is expected to commence from November. As per meteogram generated through metGIS_Agro®, the weather is likely to be hot and dry with clear sky during next seven days.

Moong is dominant pulse crop in Rajasthan.   In 2014, this crop was sown in about 878 thousand ha area. This year Moong has been sown in about 1026 thousand ha which is about 98.7 percent of targeted 1040 thousand ha for this Kharif season.   Fortunately, Rajasthan has witnessed good monsoon rainfall this season. About 87 percent excess rainfall has been registered in West Rajasthan.   We, at WeatherSys, have gathered ground information of the status of this crop from three districts namely Barmer, Nagaur and Jodhpur in west Rajasthan.    In Barmer , a good spell of monsoon rainfall was received during 22 nd July to 29 th July 2015 and moderate rain was experienced on 14 th August.   The sowing is completed in many places in the district while some farmers have started sowing after rainfall on 14 th August.   As per meteogram, no rainfall is likely over the district during next 7 days...

Likely Rain During This Weekend over Gujarat : Better Groundnut Prospect

Image
During this Kharif Season, total area covered under Groundnut in Gujarat is about 12.96 lakh ha with the increase of about 71 thousand ha previous Kharif Season ( DOA, Gujarat, 07 th Sept. 2015 ). The crop is in seed formation stage. Deficient rainfall in some districts prolonged upto 5 crop-weeks. 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. The district has witnesse...
