.1 minutes went through Final Upgraded: Aug 28 2024|12:07 AM IST.The region under kharif further strengthened in the course of the week ended August 23 as sowing was virtually comprehensive in the majority of plants. Data showed that till August 23, kharif plants have actually been actually sown in around 106.5 million hectares-- almost 2 percent more than the area covered throughout the same time period in 2014 but 2.81 percent lower than the ordinary acreage (which is actually the standard of the last five years). The bright side is actually that the areas under arhar, peanut, soybean, and cotton are more than their five-year average. However, all eyes will definitely be on the weather condition in the upcoming handful of weeks as excess storms in September could swamp areas as well as create lodging which is bad for the ultimate yield. Till August 27, the South west downpour has been actually 7 per cent greater than normal along with Central and also Southern India capturing rains which were much more than 17 per-cent excess until now in the time. Along with La Nina embeding in, the rainfalls may get even stronger.
