&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Despite setting a target to bring down by over one lakh hectares (lh) area under rice cultivation this year, Punjab has failed and acreage under the crop has already reached up to 29.57 lh and is likely touch 30 lh again. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jalandhar: &lt;/em&gt;Despite setting a target to bring down by over one lakh hectares (lh) area under rice cultivation this year, Punjab has failed and acreage under the crop has already reached up to 29.57 lh and is likely touch 30 lh again. Last year, 30.07 lh area was cultivated under rice and this year department had proposed to bring it between 28-29 lh by diverting its area to cotton and monsoon maize crops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But lack of canal water during cotton sowing, increased MSP of assured paddy and poor rate of recently harvested &amp;lsquo;spring maize&amp;rsquo; are the contributing factors to increase in area under rice. Till July 23, 2018, the area under rice (the cultivation of which was started on June 20), had reached to 29.57 lh out of which over 23 lh was dedicated under paddy rice (parmal rice) and remaining under basmati rice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;We are expecting around 30 lh area under paddy, which is huge, cultivation this year too including over 5 lh under Basmati,&amp;rdquo; said a senior officer in the agriculture department. &amp;ldquo;We had fixed cotton area target as 4 lh, but cotton could be cultivated on only 2.83 lh as remaining targeted area went under paddy. As during cotton sowing in Punjab&amp;rsquo;s 8 cotton districts, which are mostly dependent on the canal water for irrigation, the drainage and canal department started cleaning of the canals and water could not be released in canals by the end April month which delayed the sowing for two-three weeks in majority parts of the cotton districts,&amp;rdquo; said Director Punjab Agriculture Department, Dr Jasbir Singh Bains, adding that low cotton prices in last season also discouraged farmers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Similarly under maize, 1.50 lh was targeted but till date maize is cultivated on only 1.23 and sowing is almost over. Last year there was 1.29 lh under maize in Punjab. &amp;ldquo;When farmers will not get water for crops on time how farmers will cultivate as it happened with us in cotton season this year,&amp;rdquo; said farmer Bahadur Singh, adding that I waited for canal water in entire April month but when I didn&amp;rsquo;t get it, I decided to go for paddy.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Despite setting a target to bring down by over one lakh hectares (lh) area under rice cultivation this year, Punjab has failed and acreage under the crop has already reached up to 29.57 lh and is likely touch 30 lh again. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Jalandhar: &lt;/em&gt;Despite setting a target to bring down by over one lakh hectares (lh) area under rice cultivation this year, Punjab has failed and acreage under the crop has already reached up to 29.57 lh and is likely touch 30 lh again. Last year, 30.07 lh area was cultivated under rice and this year department had proposed to bring it between 28-29 lh by diverting its area to cotton and monsoon maize crops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But lack of canal water during cotton sowing, increased MSP of assured paddy and poor rate of recently harvested &amp;lsquo;spring maize&amp;rsquo; are the contributing factors to increase in area under rice. Till July 23, 2018, the area under rice (the cultivation of which was started on June 20), had reached to 29.57 lh out of which over 23 lh was dedicated under paddy rice (parmal rice) and remaining under basmati rice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;We are expecting around 30 lh area under paddy, which is huge, cultivation this year too including over 5 lh under Basmati,&amp;rdquo; said a senior officer in the agriculture department. &amp;ldquo;We had fixed cotton area target as 4 lh, but cotton could be cultivated on only 2.83 lh as remaining targeted area went under paddy. As during cotton sowing in Punjab&amp;rsquo;s 8 cotton districts, which are mostly dependent on the canal water for irrigation, the drainage and canal department started cleaning of the canals and water could not be released in canals by the end April month which delayed the sowing for two-three weeks in majority parts of the cotton districts,&amp;rdquo; said Director Punjab Agriculture Department, Dr Jasbir Singh Bains, adding that low cotton prices in last season also discouraged farmers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Similarly under maize, 1.50 lh was targeted but till date maize is cultivated on only 1.23 and sowing is almost over. Last year there was 1.29 lh under maize in Punjab. &amp;ldquo;When farmers will not get water for crops on time how farmers will cultivate as it happened with us in cotton season this year,&amp;rdquo; said farmer Bahadur Singh, adding that I waited for canal water in entire April month but when I didn&amp;rsquo;t get it, I decided to go for paddy.&lt;br /&gt;

Jalandhar: </em>Despite setting a target to bring down by over one lakh hectares (lh) area under rice cultivation this year, Punjab has failed and acreage under the crop has already reached up to 29.57 lh and is likely touch 30 lh again. Last year, 30.07 lh area was cultivated under rice and this year department had proposed to bring it between 28-29 lh by diverting its area to cotton and monsoon maize crops.<br />
<br />
But lack of canal water during cotton sowing, increased MSP of assured paddy and poor rate of recently harvested &lsquo;spring maize&rsquo; are the contributing factors to increase in area under rice. Till July 23, 2018, the area under rice (the cultivation of which was started on June 20), had reached to 29.57 lh out of which over 23 lh was dedicated under paddy rice (parmal rice) and remaining under basmati rice.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;We are expecting around 30 lh area under paddy, which is huge, cultivation this year too including over 5 lh under Basmati,&rdquo; said a senior officer in the agriculture department. &ldquo;We had fixed cotton area target as 4 lh, but cotton could be cultivated on only 2.83 lh as remaining targeted area went under paddy.

Punjab fails to cut down area under rice cultivation -Anju Agnihotri Chaba

Jalandhar: Despite setting a target to bring down by over one lakh hectares (lh) area under rice cultivation this year, Punjab has failed and acreage under the crop has already reached up to 29.57 lh and is likely touch 30 lh again.
