Big announcement of Haryana government, those sowing indigenous cotton will get a benefit of Rs 3 thousand per acre
After increasing the target of sowing cotton, now the Haryana government has made another big announcement for the cotton farmers. The Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Department of the state is making constant efforts to increase the area under indigenous cotton. Under this, the state government has decided to provide financial assistance to the farmers sowing indigenous cotton. Under this decision, the Haryana government will provide assistance of Rs 3,000 per acre to the farmers sowing indigenous cotton.
Registration required for assistance
To get this assistance amount being given by the government, it is mandatory for the farmers to register. Registration will have to be done between 25 April to 31 May. Farmers can register themselves by visiting the portal “Meri Fasal Mera Byora” https://agriharyana.gov.in/. After registration, the physical verification of the information given by the farmers will be done and after that the amount will be provided to them.
Sowing target of 19.25 lakh acres in 2022
Like Punjab and Orissa, the cotton market in Haryana is also expected to increase. According to experts, selling cotton at twice the MSP is attracting farmers to cotton. The Haryana government has set a cotton sowing target of 19.25 lakh acres for the Kharif season 2022. In the last season, cotton was cultivated in 15.90 lakh acres of land here. In Haryana, cotton is grown mainly in Fatehabad, Hisar, Sirsa, Jind, Bhiwani, Faridabad, Rewari, Sonipat, Palwal Gurugram, Jhajjar, Panipat, Charkhi Dadri, Rohtag, Mewar and Narnaul districts.
Complete arrangement of seeds
For the cultivation of cotton, mainly 3 types of seeds are used by farmers in Haryana namely Narma, Bt cotton and indigenous cotton seeds. The Agriculture Department has arranged more than 60 lakh packets of Bt cotton seeds if the farmers face any problem in increasing the cotton farming area. Such number of seeds is sufficient for the requirement here. At the same time, sufficient number of seeds are also available for different varieties of indigenous cotton like HD-107, 324, 123 and 432.
Preparation for the management of pink caterpillar
For the last several years, pink larva disease is causing damage to the crops of North India. In 2021, the cotton crop was devastated to a great extent by Kois disease. That is why this time a lot of work is being done on the prevention of this disease. The Department of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare is conducting continuous programs to educate the farmers in the cotton growing districts. And for this reason, this time the government is giving more emphasis on cultivating indigenous cotton.
