Bhiwani's below-average rainfall and the dilemma affecting Kharif farming
There is a flood situation in many states of the country, but this time Haryana and especially Bhiwani have received less than average rainfall. An average of 40 mm of rain has not been recorded in Bhiwani district so far. Due to this, farmers are worried about sowing and people are troubled by humidity and heat.
Agricultural scientists believe that pollution is the reason for less rainfall. According to the data of the Meteorological Department, clouds are not raining here. There has been fluctuations in the weather for the last one week. Along with the increase in temperature, humidity has also increased. Dr. Devi Lal, scientist of Krishi Vigyan Kendra, said that the activity of monsoon had increased in the last week of June, but till now there has been no rain in all parts. Due to this, farmers may face problems in sowing and production of Kharif crop.
Pulses crop is sown in about 25 thousand acres in Bhiwani district, which is completely dependent on rain. The area under Guar is also large, but due to lack of rain, farmers are reluctant to sow Guar. Meteorologists say that Bhiwani is a desert area, where farmers are dependent on rain. Farmers are producing some crops by irrigating them with the help of tube wells and bore wells.
So far, Bhiwani district has not received rain as expected. Farmers are busy sowing Kharif season crops. The Agriculture Department has prepared a possible target for Kharif sowing and every effort is being made to achieve it.
