Rainfall and Black insect activity in Bundelkahnd region

The normal rainfall of 1st June to 8th August is 471mm and the Tikamgarh district received only 63 percent of normal rainfall so far. Hence rainfall during August will be very crucial for crop production.
The district normal rainfall during august is 343 mm and during august, till now the district received 10 percent of normal rainfall of august month. If the rainfall in august is also below 30-40 percent of the normal than Soybean productivity will be severally affected.
The black insect with bad smell have finally arrived on 5th August, 2015 and continued their activity in absence of heavy rain and continuous cloudy conditions. Their appearance normally coincides with flowering of soybean. This is also flowering started in soybean sown on 30 June- 3 July.

Generally the large number of insects appears in less rainfall year and vice-versa.
