But wheat planting begins on a strong note

New Delhi:
Tepid progress in the planting of pulses and coarse cereals has pulled down total rabi sown area by 20 per cent till the weekend compared to the corresponding week in the 2017-18 season, according to data released by the Agriculture Ministry on Friday.

However, the planting of wheat has begun on a strong note with acreage registering a 20 per cent increase.

The total rabi acreage so far stands at 110.71 lakh hectares (lha) against 138 lha at the same time last year.

The most affected is the cultivation of pulses, particularly gram or chana. The acreage under chana is down in both the major growing States of Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka, which is reeling a drought. The total pulses acreage stood at 39 lha compared to 54.34 lha in the corresponding period last season. The sowing of lentil, too, was poor compared last year with the area covered was at only 3.11 lha, 41 per cent lower than that in corresponding period last year.

Similarly, poor sowing of jowar in Maharashtra — another State hit by drought — and Karnataka has affected acreage under coarse cereals. Against 22.65 lha planted same week last year, the area covered this year is 14.14 lha, or down about 38 per cent.
