Sowing of paddy picking up as monsoon progresses in different parts: Agriculture Commissioner

21 Jun 2023 Evaluate

Agriculture Commissioner P K Singh has said that sowing of paddy, the main kharif crop, is underway in areas which received monsoon rains and the planting is picking up as the monsoon progresses in different parts of the country. He added in some parts, farmers have started preparing nurseries.

In nurseries, the paddy seeds are first sown and raised into young plants. The plants are then uprooted and replanted in the main field. As per the Agriculture Ministry data, till last week, area under paddy was lower by 14.66 per cent at 5.32 lakh hectare as against 6.23 lakh hectare in the year-ago period.

In case of pulses, the Agriculture Commissioner said the pulses are grown in rainfed areas and sowing will pick up with the progress of monsoon rains. Pulses were sown in 1.80 lakh hectare till last week of the 2023 kharif season, as against 4.22 lakh hectare in the year-ago period.

Area sown to oilseeds too remained slightly lower at 4.11 lakh hectare till last week, but coarse cereals were covered in higher area at 12.43 lakh hectare till June 16. Paddy is the main kharif crop, sowing of which normally starts with the onset of southwest monsoon. About 80 per cent of the country's total rice production comes from the kharif season.
