Maize will be better option for as kharif crop than Soybean in Bundelkhand Agroclimatic zone of M.P.

In Tikamgarh district of M.P., it has been observed that after onset of monsoon , within a week  the rainfall is below 100mm and due to which farmers waits for a good rainfall week for sowing of Soybean and thus delayed soybean the sowing. Due to late sowing after 10th July, a shift  of the reproductive stage( pod filling ) in second to third week of September ( an almost dry period weeks), which affects the sustainability of Soybean yield.

Hence Maize may be an alternative for Soybean
An analysis was carried out for this district and shown below:
