&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;Farmers have planted wheat in 15.19 lakh hectares so far in the ongoing rabi (winter) season, more than double the area covered a year earlier, the Agriculture Ministry said today.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Wheat was sown in 6.46 lakh hectares in the same period last year, latest government data showed. Sowing of wheat, the main rabi crop, starts at the end of October and harvesting begins in April.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Area under the crop is more as of now because of better soil moisture following late rains in key growing states like Punjab,&amp;quot; said Agriculture Commissioner J S Sandhu. &amp;quot;Total wheat acreage could increase by 1 million hectares this year to 29 million hectares if weather situation remains conducive for crop growth till March.&amp;quot;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Wheat production may surpass the previous record of 94.88 million tonnes in 2011-12 if suitable weather conditions prevail, Agriculture Secretary Ashish Bahuguna said yesterday. The wheat acreage in 2011-12 was 29 million hectares.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
According to the ministry, farmers have planted pulses in 37.78 lakh hectares so far as the prolonged monsoon brightened sowing prospects in the southern states. Last year, planting of pulses hadn&#039;t started at this time.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The area under oilseed planting has increased to 28.89 lakh hectares so far in the rabi season from 22.36 lakh hectares in the year-ago period.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
However, the acreage under coarse cereals lagged behind at 25.87 lakh hectares compared with 31.63 lakh hectares.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Among cash crops, sugarcane planting was covered in 81,000 hectares so far this rabi season, as against 45,000 hectares a year earlier.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The total area under all rabi crops stood at 108.88 lakh hectares compared with 61.20 lakh hectares in the year-ago period.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The government has set a rabi production target of 92.50 million tonnes for wheat, 12 million tonnes for pulses, 14 million tonnes for rice, 4.4 million tonnes for maize and 1.5 million tonnes for barley.

&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;Farmers have planted wheat in 15.19 lakh hectares so far in the ongoing rabi (winter) season, more than double the area covered a year earlier, the Agriculture Ministry said today.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Wheat was sown in 6.46 lakh hectares in the same period last year, latest government data showed. Sowing of wheat, the main rabi crop, starts at the end of October and harvesting begins in April.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Area under the crop is more as of now because of better soil moisture following late rains in key growing states like Punjab,&amp;quot; said Agriculture Commissioner J S Sandhu. &amp;quot;Total wheat acreage could increase by 1 million hectares this year to 29 million hectares if weather situation remains conducive for crop growth till March.&amp;quot;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Wheat production may surpass the previous record of 94.88 million tonnes in 2011-12 if suitable weather conditions prevail, Agriculture Secretary Ashish Bahuguna said yesterday. The wheat acreage in 2011-12 was 29 million hectares.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
According to the ministry, farmers have planted pulses in 37.78 lakh hectares so far as the prolonged monsoon brightened sowing prospects in the southern states. Last year, planting of pulses hadn&#039;t started at this time.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The area under oilseed planting has increased to 28.89 lakh hectares so far in the rabi season from 22.36 lakh hectares in the year-ago period.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
However, the acreage under coarse cereals lagged behind at 25.87 lakh hectares compared with 31.63 lakh hectares.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Among cash crops, sugarcane planting was covered in 81,000 hectares so far this rabi season, as against 45,000 hectares a year earlier.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The total area under all rabi crops stood at 108.88 lakh hectares compared with 61.20 lakh hectares in the year-ago period.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The government has set a rabi production target of 92.50 million tonnes for wheat, 12 million tonnes for pulses, 14 million tonnes for rice, 4.4 million tonnes for maize and 1.5 million tonnes for barley.

&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;Farmers have planted wheat in 15.19 lakh hectares so far in the ongoing rabi (winter) season, more than double the area covered a year earlier, the Agriculture Ministry said today.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Wheat was sown in 6.46 lakh hectares in the same period last year, latest government data showed. Sowing of wheat, the main rabi crop, starts at the end of October and harvesting begins in April.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Area under the crop is more as of now because of better soil moisture following late rains in key growing states like Punjab,&amp;quot; said Agriculture Commissioner J S Sandhu. &amp;quot;Total wheat acreage could increase by 1 million hectares this year to 29 million hectares if weather situation remains conducive for crop growth till March.&amp;quot;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Wheat production may surpass the previous record of 94.88 million tonnes in 2011-12 if suitable weather conditions prevail, Agriculture Secretary Ashish Bahuguna said yesterday. The wheat acreage in 2011-12 was 29 million hectares.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
According to the ministry, farmers have planted pulses in 37.78 lakh hectares so far as the prolonged monsoon brightened sowing prospects in the southern states. Last year, planting of pulses hadn&#039;t started at this time.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The area under oilseed planting has increased to 28.89 lakh hectares so far in the rabi season from 22.36 lakh hectares in the year-ago period.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
However, the acreage under coarse cereals lagged behind at 25.87 lakh hectares compared with 31.63 lakh hectares.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Among cash crops, sugarcane planting was covered in 81,000 hectares so far this rabi season, as against 45,000 hectares a year earlier.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The total area under all rabi crops stood at 108.88 lakh hectares compared with 61.20 lakh hectares in the year-ago period.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The government has set a rabi production target of 92.50 million tonnes for wheat, 12 million tonnes for pulses, 14 million tonnes for rice, 4.4 million tonnes for maize and 1.5 million tonnes for barley.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;Farmers have planted wheat in 15.19 lakh hectares so far in the ongoing rabi (winter) season, more than double the area covered a year earlier, the Agriculture Ministry said today.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Wheat was sown in 6.46 lakh hectares in the same period last year, latest government data showed. Sowing of wheat, the main rabi crop, starts at the end of October and harvesting begins in April.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Area under the crop is more as of now because of better soil moisture following late rains in key growing states like Punjab,&amp;quot; said Agriculture Commissioner J S Sandhu. &amp;quot;Total wheat acreage could increase by 1 million hectares this year to 29 million hectares if weather situation remains conducive for crop growth till March.&amp;quot;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Wheat production may surpass the previous record of 94.88 million tonnes in 2011-12 if suitable weather conditions prevail, Agriculture Secretary Ashish Bahuguna said yesterday. The wheat acreage in 2011-12 was 29 million hectares.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
According to the ministry, farmers have planted pulses in 37.78 lakh hectares so far as the prolonged monsoon brightened sowing prospects in the southern states. Last year, planting of pulses hadn&#039;t started at this time.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The area under oilseed planting has increased to 28.89 lakh hectares so far in the rabi season from 22.36 lakh hectares in the year-ago period.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
However, the acreage under coarse cereals lagged behind at 25.87 lakh hectares compared with 31.63 lakh hectares.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Among cash crops, sugarcane planting was covered in 81,000 hectares so far this rabi season, as against 45,000 hectares a year earlier.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The total area under all rabi crops stood at 108.88 lakh hectares compared with 61.20 lakh hectares in the year-ago period.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The government has set a rabi production target of 92.50 million tonnes for wheat, 12 million tonnes for pulses, 14 million tonnes for rice, 4.4 million tonnes for maize and 1.5 million tonnes for barley.

Area under wheat sowing has more than doubled so far: Government

-PTI NEW DELHI: Farmers have planted wheat in 15.19 lakh hectares so far in the ongoing rabi (winter) season, more than double the area covered a year earlier, the Agriculture Ministry said today. Wheat was sown in 6.46 lakh hectares in the same period last year, latest government data showed. Sowing of wheat, the main rabi crop, starts at the end of October and harvesting begins in April. "Area under the crop is more as of now because of better soil moisture following late rains in key growing states like Punjab," said Agriculture Commissioner J S Sandhu. "Total wheat acreage could increase by 1 million hectares this year to 29 million hectares if weather situation remains conducive for crop growth till March." Wheat production may surpass the previous record of 94.88 million tonnes in 2011-12 if suitable weather conditions prevail, Agriculture Secretary Ashish Bahuguna said yesterday. The wheat acreage in 2011-12 was 29 million hectares. According to the ministry, farmers have planted pulses in 37.78 lakh hectares so far as the prolonged monsoon brightened sowing prospects in the southern states. Last year, planting of pulses hadn't started at this time. The area under oilseed planting has increased to 28.89 lakh hectares so far in the rabi season from 22.36 lakh hectares in the year-ago period. However, the acreage under coarse cereals lagged behind at 25.87 lakh hectares compared with 31.63 lakh hectares. Among cash crops, sugarcane planting was covered in 81,000 hectares so far this rabi season, as against 45,000 hectares a year earlier. The total area under all rabi crops stood at 108.88 lakh hectares compared with 61.20 lakh hectares in the year-ago period. The government has set a rabi production target of 92.50 million tonnes for wheat, 12 million tonnes for pulses, 14 million tonnes for rice, 4.4 million tonnes for maize and 1.5 million tonnes for barley.
