Soybean Status in Maharashtra
At national
level the Soybean acreage is estimated higher by about 27 lakh ha in 2015
Kharif Season as compared to Kharif Season 2014. Out of this, Maharashtra alone
has a share of 18.20 lakh ha with total acreage reaching 31.59 lakh ha (Solvent Extractors’ Association of India as
on July 27th July). Generally,
in most of the districts of the Maharashtra, actual rainfall has met the ideal rainfall
requirements in all the stages of Soybean crop. We, at WeatherSys, monitor real
time weather and crop status for all major soybean growing districts alongwith
ground information. In this report, we
have gathered inputs from several districts of Maharashtra.
In Sangli, the crop is in pod formation
stage. The district has been received more rainfall than required for Soybean
throughout this monsoon season. In case
of continued rainfall in near future, the crop would be affected adversely in
the form of falling of pods and flowers.
There was moderate rainfall yesterday. Moderate rainfall is expected
during next seven days.

In Buldhana,
the crop is in pod formation stage in most of the places. There was moderate
rainfall over the district yesterday. Some farmers reported diseases such as
Phytopthora on their crops. Temperature rise could have intensified incidences
of diseases in the crop. Farmers are planning to switch from Soybean to other
crops from next season. Light rainfall is likely over the district during next
seven days.
In Amravati, there has
been moderate rainfall in last three days. The crop is in pod formation stage. In
several places in the district, Fungal and Yellow Mosaic diseases have been
reported in the crop. As Whitefly transmit yellow mosaic virus disease, their
control is critical. Infected plants should be removed and buried outside
field. Weather is likely to be clear next week except light rainfall on 16th
September.
