“Do Not Rush to sow Kharif Crops Until there is Sufficient Moisture in the Soil.”

Due to scanty rainfall in certain areas even by the last week of June this year as well (Maximum 55 millimeters and minimum 5 millimeters), Since the beginning of the rainy season, researchers from the agricultural university, and officers and staff of the agriculture department and even the government have consistently advised farmer brothers, Do not sow Kharif crops until there has been at least 100 millimeters of rainfall. Some farmers still went ahead and sowed their crops with low rainfall, and now they are facing the crisis of double sowing (resowing).

If seeds are sown when there is not enough moisture in the soil, they do not sprout in sufficient quantities. If there is insufficient moisture in the soil after dry sowing or due to very scanty rainfall, after sowing the seeds if moisture is not produced in the soil during a certain period of time, the sown seeds do not sprout in sufficient quantities. If the rains hold off again, the crisis of re-sowing arises. If fertilizers were applied to the crops, then the expenses incurred on those fertilizers and the expenses spent on expensive seeds are wasted. Therefore, do not sow until at least 100 millimeters of rain has fallen.
