.1 min read through Final Updated: Aug 28 2024|12:07 AM IST.The place under kharif even more enhanced in the course of the full week finished August 23 as sowing was actually practically full in a lot of crops. Records presented that till August 23, kharif crops have actually been actually raised in around 106.5 million hectares-- practically 2 percent much more than the area dealt with during the very same time period in 2013 but 2.81 per-cent lower than the usual land area (which is the average of the last 5 years). The bright side is actually that the areas under arhar, peanut, soybean, and cotton are more than their five-year average. Having said that, all eyes will definitely get on the weather in the next few weeks as excess storms in September could swamp fields and also create hotels which misbehaves for the final yield. Till August 27, the Southwest downpour has been 7 per cent much more than usual along with Central and Southern India recording rains which were more than 17 percent surplus up until now in the time. Along with Los angeles Nina embeding in, the rains might get even more powerful.
