Harvesting of Soybean Crop Started in Madhya Pradesh
According to SOPA, total sowing area in Madhya Pradesh is
59.04 lakh ha in this Kharif season where crop in about 7.7 lakh ha area is
very poor and more than 10 lakh ha is stressed. Presently, the crop is at
maturity stage. In some places, harvesting has started and arrivals of new
produce has also begun. Lower yield is expected at many places due to weed and
pest infestation and deficient moisture at several areas of the state.
We at
WeatherSys monitor crop growth vis-à-vis the actual weather and weather
forecast on day to day basis. We also gather ground information on the status
of the crop and associated weather in major growing districts. In this report, we have collected ground
information of Soybean crop status in several districts of Madhya Pradesh.
In Shivpuri, the crop is at seed filling
stage and its harvesting is expected to commence during October-beginning.
Deficient rainfall in crop-week 36-37 has affected the seed filling of the pod.
Some farmers are using their own irrigation resources. Symptoms of water
scarcity in plants such as pale leaves have been observed in the fields of
farmer who depends only on rains and this will result in low yield. As per the
meteogram generated through metGIS_Agro®, no rainfall is likely
during next seven days in the district.
