Wheat Sowing in Uttar Pradesh Likely to Start in Mid-November
Uttar Pradesh is
among major Wheat producing states. Persisting high temperature and lack of
required soil moisture are main weather parameters which are affecting wheat
sowing in the State. Sowing during higher temperature makes the crop more
susceptible for diseases. As per
WeatherSys prediction, temperature are expected to come down around 26oC
in many parts of the state during mid-November which will be more suitable time
to begin sowing this important foodgrain crop. 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 Wheat sowing status in
