Cotton crop at risk again, Vidharbh farmers seek govt aidExtended rains are now posing risk to cotton, the main crop of Vidarbha. Harvest in a number of pockets is reported to be delayed by 20 to 25 days as the fields are still wet. This has prevented cotton boll formation to the full capacity, in turn, holding up the harvest.If farmers in Vidarbha are still hoping for some sunshine that may save the crop, cotton growers in neighbouring region of Marathwada are already reported to be in losses due to excessive rains. Once it gets dry, there are chances of pink bollworm pest affecting the crop, said experts.This is the second crop at stake after soyabean. Farmers in both Vidarbha and Marathwada have reported losses as their soyabean output was reduced to 50%. The rates of soyabean too have halved to Rs4,500 from Rs9,000 in the beginning of the harvest season as low quality is one of the reasons.Last year, cotton growers had to face low rates due to Covid pandemic. The pandemic restrictions had also hit the MSP (minimum support price) procurement and there were reports of pink bollworm infestation too.Officials in the agriculture department contacted by TOI said there are losses, but only in low lying areas of Vidarbha. There may be losses, but not as much to create a crisis, said the officials.In Yavatmal, a group of farmers had blocked the road to highlight the situation. Their demand is that state government should carry out assessment of the losses and declare a compensation.“Cotton arrivals, which begin by Dussehra, may be delayed by 20 days or so,” said Sudhir Kothari, a director in Hinganghat APMC, one of the major markets for cotton.President of Shetkari Sanghatana Anil Ghanwat said farmers of Marathwada are already in losses. Fields located near dams are already flooded because gates have been opened due to heavy rainfall. “Shortage of soyabean is expected this time, so are the cotton supplies,” he said.Former director of Central Institute of Cotton Research (CICR) CD Mayee said even as the situation in Vidarbha is under control, there are major losses in Marathwada. There are chances of pink bollworm infestation once it gets dry. There are also reports of cotton bolls rotting, he said.Vijay Jawandhia, farm activist from Wardha, said the crisis may also hit the farm workers’ earnings. In some places, the crops are not even in a condition to be harvested.Farmers TOI talked to in different districts said there are chances that the yield may be reduced to half, if there is no dry spell soon.SiS Commited to update you on all textile related news real time.RegardsTeam SisAny query plz call 9111977771https://wa.me/919111977775

Punjab farmers worried as rain delays paddy, cotton harvest in MalwaPunjab’s cotton growers are left worried about the loss of quality of their ready-to-harvest produce after untimely rain lashed south Punjab on Monday evening.Farmers of Bathinda and Mansa districts said they were already braving losses caused by the pink bollworm attack and the inclement weather would hit them further.Cotton and paddy are the main kharif crops sown in seven districts of the state’s southern belt.Picking of cotton is underway, whereas paddy harvesting in Malwa is yet to pick up.The wet conditions will now stall harvesting till the weekend.Sudden showers damage raw cotton at mandisAccording to Punjab Agricultural University’s observatory at the Bathinda-based regional research centre, Bathinda district recorded 70mm of rainfall on Monday evening. Strong winds were reported from Bathinda, Fazilka, Muktsar and other adjoining places.Unsold raw cotton at several mandis of Muktsar, Bathinda and Fazilka was damaged due to sudden showers in the evening.Lodging of crops reported: State agri deptState agriculture department joint director Gurvinder Singh said rainfall at this juncture would affect the quality of cotton bolls and paddy grains.“Initial field inputs suggest lodging of crops of cotton and paddy at several places across the state. Rains are undesirable for kharif crops as paddy and cotton are ready for harvest,” he said.Harvesting held up for at least five daysBathinda chief agriculture officer Manjit Singh said cotton harvesting would be stalled for at least five days following rain in various parts of Malwa region“Unfriendly weather conditions would also push paddy harvesting, that is yet to gain momentum, by 3-4 days. Farmers are being advised to delay harvest,” he said.Sharanjit Singh from Mann Khera village of Mansa district said inclement weather would be a double whammy for farmers.“Pink bollworm attack has done considerable damage to the crop. Delay in the harvesting of cotton and paddy would lead to a delay in wheat sowing in the area. We are keeping fingers crossed to tide over these challenging times,” he said.
