Possibility of next rainfall in November boost the chickpea and wheat showing in Bundelkhand zone

The light rainfall was received in Tikamgarh, Chhatarpur, Lalitpur districts of Bundelkhand along with hail. The high wind along with overcast sky and rainfall decreased the maximum temperature by 5-6 °C(degree Celsius). Today minimum temperature is 13.7 °C and dense fog was observed in some area. The average temperature is 18.2°C .

Though the temperature conditions and calendar dates are congenial for rabi sowing but, soil moisture is very low and hence farmers are waiting for another spell of rainfall.

Possibility of next spell of rainfall in November,2015, if occurred  will start sowing of main rabi crops of chickpea and wheat. 

Rabi sowing in Bundelkhand area and possibility of rainfall

The high day time temperature will be around normal. The rabi sowing will be started from 1 week of October 2015. Rabi sowing of crops like chickpea, Mustard and Pea has already delayed by 15 days. Hence, farmers keep watch on weather forecast and take a quick decision for sowing of these rabi crops.

There is a change of light rain during this week (26 Oct- 1 Nov, 2015). This will help farmers in their field management for sowing purpose.  

Next rainfall may be during November 2015, due to which farmers completed their sowing operation at the end of November 2015.

मध्य भारत में हो सकता है जल्दी ठंड़ का आगमन

इस बर्ष अगस्त माह में तापमान ज्यादा रहने से कास में फुल लगभग 1 सप्ताह से भी पहले आ गए । अगस्त के अंतिम सप्ताह में ही कास में फुल आने से शायद जल्दी जाड़े की शुरुवात हो सकती है। लेकिन जाड़े की जल्द शुरुवात का मतलब है रात के तापमान में जल्द गिरावट की शुरुवात हो सकती है।

किसानों के लिए जल्द जाड़े की शुरुवात के लाभ तभी हो सकते है जब सितम्बर के अंतिम या अक्टुबर के शुरुवात में बारिश हो जाय ।

क़रते रहे जल्द रात के तापमान में गिरावट का इंतजार क्योकि तुलसिदास भी कह गये है कि  “फूले कास शरद रितु आई”

Soybean yield may be affected in Bundelkand region of M.P.

The farmers of Bundelkhand region was generally sown soybean around 1-2^nd week of July, 2015. Now the soybean crop is in flowering stage or will going to inter inR1 (first flower stage) stage during this week (17-23th August, 2015). Crop establishment was fair and till now the crop growth is good. Means the crop has undergone very little environmental stress and successfully entering into reproductive stage. May be stress will be started from now.

The high air temperature is around 32-33°C, but leaf/canopy temperature of Soybean may be higher than the air temperature.

The region received less rainfall (35 % less from Normal rainfall) from their normal value upto 15^th August, 2015.

If the rest of the August month received less rainfall than seed number /meter square will be less and seed size will be also affected by low soil moisture, high evapotranspiration rate  and high air temperature( above 34°C).

There is white fly , green semi looper, Griddle B  attack on soybean crop. The cultivar JS 335 has been affected by YMV and more or less the cultivar JS 95-60. If warm temperature prevails further for next one-two weeks, substantial yield loss may occur, which may range from 20-40 % for rainfed conditions. The lower CGR rate, lower N fixation rate, and lower seed number and seed size may play the critical role.

Could foliar liquid nitrogen spray and weekly irrigation may help?  Suggestions invited from agricultural scientists.

अगस्त माह के शुरुवात में हो रहे ओस व कुहरा की घट्ना कहीं खुसे का संकेत तो नहीं बता रहे है

टीकमगढ़ में 6,7 व 10 अगस्त को ओस व कुहरा (कम) रहा। इतनी जल्दी ओस व कुहरे का आगमन शायद पहली बार देखा जा रहा है। पिछले 3 दिनों से उमश ने बुरा हाल कर दिया है। खण्ड़ बर्षा ने  किसानों के उमीद पर पानी फेर दिया है ऐसे हालात  किसी को भी गड़बड़ झाला  में डाल सकते है।
इस साल के मांसून से ज्यादा वर्षा बुन्देलखण्ड में शायद नहीं होगी । सुखे के संकेत लग रहा है , सोयाबीन के उत्पादन में कमी की उमीद प्रबल हो रहे है।
मुंग ,उर्द भी बीमारे से ग्रस्त है  अब तिल पर ही भरोसा है।

Rainfall and Black insect activity in Bundelkahnd region

The normal rainfall of 1^st June to 8^th 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 5^th 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.
