&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;States accuse the Centre of not taking any initiative to help them increase production of summer crops &amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Agricultural experts have warned that an unusually hot March and April this year may cause damage to summer crops, which are grown in the Indian subcontinent between &amp;lsquo;Rabi&amp;rsquo; (winter) and &amp;lsquo;Kharif&amp;rsquo; (monsoon) crops.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;States have also accused the Centre of not taking any initiative to help them increase production of summer crops such as pulses, oilseeds and nutritional cereals.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Summer crop sowing starts in the last week of February or first week of March and these crops are harvested by May-June.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The government and farmers are concerned about the summer crops this year. Experts say the maximum temperature for summer crops is 35 degrees Celsius. They add that the crops will be damaged if the temperature reaches more than 40&amp;deg;C.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Aditya Pratap, principal scientist at the Indian Institute of Pulses Research, Kanpur, told Down to Earth that summer moong (green gram) and urad (black gram) formed the majority of summer crops.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;He added that since the temperature had exceeded 40&amp;deg;C since the first week of April and continued to be dry, it will make a difference in the pollination of these pulse crops. Also, pulses will not be able to form beans due to the heat.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Aditya Pratap said farmers who had harvested potatoes and mustard in the middle of February and had planted summer crops in the last week of February or the first week of March, won&amp;rsquo;t suffer much.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;But farmers who had harvested wheat and had planted pulses in the middle or last week of March after harvesting it, may witness damage to their crop.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Procurement worries&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Summer crops are considered as a source of additional income for farmers, as they are planted in the remaining season between Rabi and Kharif. The Indian government aims to reduce the import of pulses and oilseeds by promoting summer crops since these form the bulk of such crops.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Union government is appealing to the states to motivate farmers to plant more summer crops. However, states complain that the central government is not taking any concrete step regarding the procurement of these crops.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;States accuse the Centre of not taking any initiative to help them increase production of summer crops &amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Agricultural experts have warned that an unusually hot March and April this year may cause damage to summer crops, which are grown in the Indian subcontinent between &amp;lsquo;Rabi&amp;rsquo; (winter) and &amp;lsquo;Kharif&amp;rsquo; (monsoon) crops.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;States have also accused the Centre of not taking any initiative to help them increase production of summer crops such as pulses, oilseeds and nutritional cereals.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Summer crop sowing starts in the last week of February or first week of March and these crops are harvested by May-June.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The government and farmers are concerned about the summer crops this year. Experts say the maximum temperature for summer crops is 35 degrees Celsius. They add that the crops will be damaged if the temperature reaches more than 40&amp;deg;C.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Aditya Pratap, principal scientist at the Indian Institute of Pulses Research, Kanpur, told Down to Earth that summer moong (green gram) and urad (black gram) formed the majority of summer crops.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;He added that since the temperature had exceeded 40&amp;deg;C since the first week of April and continued to be dry, it will make a difference in the pollination of these pulse crops. Also, pulses will not be able to form beans due to the heat.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Aditya Pratap said farmers who had harvested potatoes and mustard in the middle of February and had planted summer crops in the last week of February or the first week of March, won&amp;rsquo;t suffer much.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;But farmers who had harvested wheat and had planted pulses in the middle or last week of March after harvesting it, may witness damage to their crop.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Procurement worries&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Summer crops are considered as a source of additional income for farmers, as they are planted in the remaining season between Rabi and Kharif. The Indian government aims to reduce the import of pulses and oilseeds by promoting summer crops since these form the bulk of such crops.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Union government is appealing to the states to motivate farmers to plant more summer crops. However, states complain that the central government is not taking any concrete step regarding the procurement of these crops.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;States accuse the Centre of not taking any initiative to help them increase production of summer crops &amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Agricultural experts have warned that an unusually hot March and April this year may cause damage to summer crops, which are grown in the Indian subcontinent between &amp;lsquo;Rabi&amp;rsquo; (winter) and &amp;lsquo;Kharif&amp;rsquo; (monsoon) crops.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;States have also accused the Centre of not taking any initiative to help them increase production of summer crops such as pulses, oilseeds and nutritional cereals.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Summer crop sowing starts in the last week of February or first week of March and these crops are harvested by May-June.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The government and farmers are concerned about the summer crops this year. Experts say the maximum temperature for summer crops is 35 degrees Celsius. They add that the crops will be damaged if the temperature reaches more than 40&amp;deg;C.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Aditya Pratap, principal scientist at the Indian Institute of Pulses Research, Kanpur, told Down to Earth that summer moong (green gram) and urad (black gram) formed the majority of summer crops.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;He added that since the temperature had exceeded 40&amp;deg;C since the first week of April and continued to be dry, it will make a difference in the pollination of these pulse crops. Also, pulses will not be able to form beans due to the heat.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Aditya Pratap said farmers who had harvested potatoes and mustard in the middle of February and had planted summer crops in the last week of February or the first week of March, won&amp;rsquo;t suffer much.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;But farmers who had harvested wheat and had planted pulses in the middle or last week of March after harvesting it, may witness damage to their crop.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Procurement worries&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Summer crops are considered as a source of additional income for farmers, as they are planted in the remaining season between Rabi and Kharif. The Indian government aims to reduce the import of pulses and oilseeds by promoting summer crops since these form the bulk of such crops.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Union government is appealing to the states to motivate farmers to plant more summer crops. However, states complain that the central government is not taking any concrete step regarding the procurement of these crops.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;States accuse the Centre of not taking any initiative to help them increase production of summer crops &amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Agricultural experts have warned that an unusually hot March and April this year may cause damage to summer crops, which are grown in the Indian subcontinent between &amp;lsquo;Rabi&amp;rsquo; (winter) and &amp;lsquo;Kharif&amp;rsquo; (monsoon) crops.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;States have also accused the Centre of not taking any initiative to help them increase production of summer crops such as pulses, oilseeds and nutritional cereals.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Summer crop sowing starts in the last week of February or first week of March and these crops are harvested by May-June.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The government and farmers are concerned about the summer crops this year. Experts say the maximum temperature for summer crops is 35 degrees Celsius. They add that the crops will be damaged if the temperature reaches more than 40&amp;deg;C.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Aditya Pratap, principal scientist at the Indian Institute of Pulses Research, Kanpur, told Down to Earth that summer moong (green gram) and urad (black gram) formed the majority of summer crops.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;He added that since the temperature had exceeded 40&amp;deg;C since the first week of April and continued to be dry, it will make a difference in the pollination of these pulse crops. Also, pulses will not be able to form beans due to the heat.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Aditya Pratap said farmers who had harvested potatoes and mustard in the middle of February and had planted summer crops in the last week of February or the first week of March, won&amp;rsquo;t suffer much.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;But farmers who had harvested wheat and had planted pulses in the middle or last week of March after harvesting it, may witness damage to their crop.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Procurement worries&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Summer crops are considered as a source of additional income for farmers, as they are planted in the remaining season between Rabi and Kharif. The Indian government aims to reduce the import of pulses and oilseeds by promoting summer crops since these form the bulk of such crops.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Union government is appealing to the states to motivate farmers to plant more summer crops. However, states complain that the central government is not taking any concrete step regarding the procurement of these crops.&lt;/p&gt;

Summer crops may be damaged this year due to temperature rise: Experts -Raju Sajwan

-Down to Earth States accuse the Centre of not taking any initiative to help them increase production of summer crops   Agricultural experts have warned that an unusually hot March and April this year may cause damage to summer crops, which are grown in the Indian subcontinent between ‘Rabi’ (winter) and ‘Kharif’ (monsoon) crops. States have also accused the Centre of not taking any initiative to help them increase production of summer crops such as pulses, oilseeds and nutritional cereals. Summer crop sowing starts in the last week of February or first week of March and these crops are harvested by May-June.  The government and farmers are concerned about the summer crops this year. Experts say the maximum temperature for summer crops is 35 degrees Celsius. They add that the crops will be damaged if the temperature reaches more than 40°C. Aditya Pratap, principal scientist at the Indian Institute of Pulses Research, Kanpur, told Down to Earth that summer moong (green gram) and urad (black gram) formed the majority of summer crops. He added that since the temperature had exceeded 40°C since the first week of April and continued to be dry, it will make a difference in the pollination of these pulse crops. Also, pulses will not be able to form beans due to the heat. Aditya Pratap said farmers who had harvested potatoes and mustard in the middle of February and had planted summer crops in the last week of February or the first week of March, won’t suffer much. But farmers who had harvested wheat and had planted pulses in the middle or last week of March after harvesting it, may witness damage to their crop. Procurement worries Summer crops are considered as a source of additional income for farmers, as they are planted in the remaining season between Rabi and Kharif. The Indian government aims to reduce the import of pulses and oilseeds by promoting summer crops since these form the bulk of such crops. The Union government is appealing to the states to motivate farmers to plant more summer crops. However, states complain that the central government is not taking any concrete step regarding the procurement of these crops. Please click here to read more.
