Dry June led to late paddy transplantation; More than half of targetted acreage lie uncultivated    

A dry June followed by a rainy July might delay Kharif crops in Odisha this monsoon. Farmers in several districts, mainly the western and coastal areas, have yet to start paddy transplantation due to erratic rainfall.

Through July 23, paddy was sown in 1.27 million hectares out of 3.5 million hectares planned by the Odisha government’s agriculture department for the current kharif season. This is less than half of the target, around 40 per cent. 

Paddy cultivation was completed in 1.53 million hectares in the same period last year, according to a Crop Weather Watch Group report. The Union Ministry of Agriculture has set up the watch group that focusses on curative and preventive measures.

Monsoon 2022 hit Odisha on June 16, but several areas did not see rain until June 28. June saw a deficit rainfall of 37 per cent said HR Biswas, director for Bhubaneswar centre, India Meteorological Department (IMD).

The deficiency was, however, compensated within 10 days in July. The state received 201.5 mm of rainfall from July 9-18.
