Apple production is expected to decline significantly this year

Apple production is expected to decline significantly this year

Cold wave and snowfall are wreaking havoc in the country. But, apple production in the country may decline considerably due to less rain and snowfall than last year. According to the Meteorological Department, there is a possibility of rain-snowfall in the coming days. However, it is not conducive for the apple to complete its chilling period. There is a very bad news for apple farmers. Apple yields in India are expected to decline this year due to below-average rainfall and snowfall. This can pose a big challenge for apple growers. In fact, apple producing states like Uttarakhand, Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh have received almost no snowfall this time. Because of this, farmers are very worried.

Even after more than a week in the month of January, there has been no rain in these states. There is no sign of snowfall due to lack of rain. Due to this, the apple crop is not getting the winter season as per the requirement. In this situation, experts have said that due to less snowfall, the size of the apple will be greatly affected and its sweetness will also decrease.

Huge decrease in apple production expected

Horticulturists say that if there is no rain and snowfall on a few days,apple yields can decline by 20 to 25 percent. Due to the decline in apple yield, the price of apple can also increase significantly. It is being said that due to lack of rain, moisture has disappeared from the land. As a result, apple plants are not getting enough moisture. According to experts, a minimum chilling period of 800 to 1000 hours is required for the growth of apple plants. But, due to lack of rain and snowfall, the chilling period has not been completed. In such a situation, apple yields are likely to be affected significantly.

Farmers are also praying to God for rain and snowfall

If we take a look at Himachal Pradesh, the farmers here are also disappointed due to lack of rain and snowfall. As a result of lack of rain and snowfall in the state, the apple business worth Rs 5500 crore is facing a lot of crisis. Because, the snowfall has not started yet, due to which the process of chilling period has not even started. This has increased the concern of thousands of gardeners in the state. In such a situation, gardeners are praying to the gods and goddesses for rain and snowfall.

  

What message has IMD given about rain?

Apples are an extremely tasty crop. Apart from Himachal Pradesh, apple is also cultivated on a large scale in Uttarakhand. There are apple orchards in about 25 thousand hectare area, which produces about 67 thousand tonnes of apples every year. Farmers grow apples in districts like Uttarkashi, Nainital, Champawat, Chamoli, Dehradun, Bageshwar and Almora. Also, pulum, pear and apricots are also cultivated by farmers in these areas. This is the reason that the farmers here are very upset due to lack of rain and snowfall. Farmers say that if there is no rain and snowfall, it will destroy their crops. Also, according to the Meteorological Department, there is a possibility of rain-snowfall in Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh in the next few days.


The best varieties of dates that provide good production even in high rain

The best varieties of dates that provide good production even in high rain

Date cultivation can prove to be beneficial for the farmers of the country where the rain is less. Let's know about some major varieties of dates. Areas of India which receive less rainfall. The farmers there can cultivate dates. This farming will make them very good profit. Dates' cultivation does not require much water. Very low rain and irrigation gives good dates. The dates are broken before the monsoon rainfall. The date grows in five conditions. The first stage of pollination of the fruit is called Habbak, which lasts for four weeks or about 28 days. Gandora, or worm, is the second stage, in which the colour of the fruit is green. During this time moisture is 85% percent. The third stage is called Doka, in which the weight of the fruit is ten to fifteen grams. At this time the fruits have an astringent taste and are hard yellow, pink or red in colour. They contain moisture ranging from 50 to 65 percent. The upper surface of the fruit begins to become soft and they become edible when the fourth stage, Deng or Rutab, comes. The fifth or final stage that is fully ripened is called body or tamar. There is a lot of demand for fruits in this situation.


Great species of dates

Medjool dates are also called sugar-free dates. This type of date is ripe with a slight delay. The colour of this fruit is yellow-orange. These dates weigh 20 to 40 grams. These dates are not spoiled even in rain, which is their best thing. Khalas dates are also called medium -term dates. Doka is yellow and sweet in state. Their average weight is 15.2 grams. Halawi dates are very sweet and ripe quickly. Their colour is yellow when it is doca. The average Halavi dates weigh 12.6 grams.


Also read: The very beneficial dates for the body are now being produced in Rajasthan too.


Some important suggestions for dates cultivation are as follows

  • Select the great quality plant for farming.
  • Take care of date trees better.
  • Cut the dates only after riping .
  • Keep the dates dry in the sun.

Prices of rice increased by 10%

He said that due to rumors, the price of rice has increased by 10%. But, there will be an excellent yield of paddy in the crop season 2023-24. Now in such a situation, prices will fall due to the arrival of new rice in the market. He has said that the storage limit on wheat has been reduced. Farmers also felt extremely happy when the price of rice increased. Because paddy is a Kharif crop. The right time has come for harvesting this Kharif crop. The time of harvesting of Kharif crop rice is going on. Now in such a situation, if the price of rice increases then farmers will get a lot of benefits.

How much paddy is produced in India

India is the second country in terms of paddy production. India exports rice to foreign countries. India ensures the food supply of rice to the world. Many countries depend on India. If rice production in India decreases, it affects the food security of the entire world. India is well known for the production of different varieties of rice. Nepal remains largely dependent on rice from India.

To promote vegetable production there is a 75% subsidy in this state.

To promote vegetable production there is a 75% subsidy in this state.

To increase vegetable production and to help farmers in Bihar, the state government is running the Vegetable Development Scheme. According to this scheme, the government is providing a 75% subsidy on the purchase of the seeds. In Bihar, farmers have started sowing vegetables with Rabi crops to promote vegetable production. The government is also supporting them so that the income of farmers can increase along with the production capacity. Along with this, the government is providing grants to encourage vegetable production. Also, a plan is being prepared to encourage more farmers to produce seeds under the Vegetable Development Scheme. 

Bihar government has started the Vegetable Development Scheme, under which grants will be provided for the cultivation of various vegetables. Under this scheme, farmers will get grants for the distribution of seeds of high-value vegetables. The government is also providing subsidies for the cultivation of cucumber, brinjal, and other vegetables without seeds. The online application process for this has also started. Interested farmers have the opportunity to apply so that they can take advantage of this scheme.

The government is providing up to 75% subsidy on seeds.


The Bihar government has decided to provide funds to the farmers on the seeds of improved varieties of vegetables, in which a 75 percent subsidy is included in the unit cost of high-value cucumbers and brinjals. Under the Vegetable Development Scheme, farmers will be provided funds up to the prescribed limit in one sub-component. Funds will be provided for purchases of vegetables worth Rs 1,000 to Rs 10,000. Farmers will also be provided funds for vegetable farming seeds ranging from 0.25 acres to 2.5 acres.

Let us tell you that those farmers who do not have this number, can get this number by registering on the official website dbtagriculture.bihar.gov.in. After getting the registration number, farmers can apply online by visiting the link of horticulture.bihar.gov.in website.


 Weed can highly affect the sugarcane crop

Weed can highly affect the sugarcane crop

Before sowing sugarcane, keep weed control in mind. If weeds are not controlled in time then there can be reduction in production. Production can be decreased by 10-30 percent. In this situation, let us know how to control weeds. 


These days, autumn sowing of sugarcane is going on in India. At this time weed control is also more important. Because, sugarcane crops can get affected due to weeds, which causes reduction in  production. In this situation, it should be controlled before sowing.Agricultural scientists have said that farmers should do weed control regularly.So that full development of their crop is possible.Dr. Sanjeev Pathak, Extension Officer of Uttar Pradesh Sugarcane Research Council, says that sowing of sugarcane is going on these days in various states of the country. Farmer brothers must keep in mind weed control before sowing. They have said that about 45 types of broad and narrow leaves of weeds are found in sugarcane. 





Yield of sugarcane decreases this way.


For your information, let us tell you that the field of sugarcane is sown by trench method because of a lot of space in between, and weeds grow rapidly. If weeds in sugarcane crops are not controlled in time then there may be a decrease in yield of sugarcane. Let us tell you that yield can be decreased by 10-30 percent, because weeds grow with the crop. Therefore take control over the weeds on time so that crops don't get harmed. 



Control weeds like this.


Dr. Sanjeev Pathak has said that weed control in the first three months of sugarcane sowing. Two methods can be used for weed control. The first method in which weeds can be eliminated is by chemical spraying of herbicides. Whereas, the second method is the mechanical method, in which weeds can be eliminated by weeding.

Weeding helps in the circulation of air in the soil, which helps in the excellent development of sugarcane roots. Let us tell you that when the roots are fully developed, the plants will absorb the nutrients present in the soil, the fertilizers given by the farmers and the irrigation water, which will also improve the growth and development. Now in such a situation, farmers will get a very good yield. Besides, the weeds growing in the crop will also be eliminated.







Farmer brothers should spray medicine in this way.


If a chemical method has to be used in any special circumstances then to control broadleaf and narrow leaf weeds, apply 500 grams of Metribuzin 70 percent simultaneously And make a solution of 2 4 D 58 percent in 1000 liters of water corresponding to 2.5 liters per hectare and spray it. During this time, be careful that the medicine is sprayed only on the weeds in the space between the two lines of sugarcane. Try to ensure that the medicine does not fall on the sugarcane plants. Spraying of medicine on sugarcane plants can significantly affect the growth of the plants.






 

Due to lack of proper storage system, there is a lot of waste of food grains

Due to lack of proper storage system, there is a lot of waste of food grains

Food yields are getting enough in India and this yield is also increasing year by year. Tell me that even then, farmers do not get the right price for their crop. Millions of people in India are compelled for hungry gold. The reason for this is the absence of magnificent and well -organized facilities for storage somewhere.


Most of the reports are heard, that millions of tons of grains kept under the open sky got wet with unseasonal rain, the grain of crores of rupees was completely rotten and washed away. This causes water to reinforce the hard work of poor farmers. In addition, insects, rodents (rats, squirrels), micro -organisms and unscientific storage etc. are also plenty of crop loss. The government tells about the growth in yield, but does not explain how food will be kept safe and protection.


The government itself provides storage

In India, the government itself provides storage by unscientific methods. Everyone has generally seen the grain lying in sacks without covered under the open sky. Statistics at the Indian Grain Accumulation Management and Research Institute (IGMRI), Hapur (U.P.) say that the annual storage loss is about Rs 7,000 crore, with 14 million tonnes of food grains destroyed, with about 1,300 due to the sole insects about 1,300 Loss of crores of rupees is shambled. Due to micro -organisms, insects, rodents and unscientific storage etc., there is about 10% percent loss of total food grains after harvesting.


Capacity to store merely 45 per cent

India has an estimate of 3,235 lakh tonnes of food grains in the financial year 2022-23. However, according to government data, the total grain storage capacity in India is 1,450 lakh tonnes. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), only 45 percent of annual grain production in the country has the capacity to store only 45 percent. Apart from this, the government also hesitates to answer what the remaining grains are.


What do you understand from the food saving program

The 'KhadanBachao' program was started in India in 1979. Under this scheme, a target was set to generate awareness among farmers and provide tanks for storage at affordable prices. However, even today millions of tons of grains are wasted.


Work to reduce wasteful expenses

A plan to develop the world's largest storage capacity in India has been started. The government is spending about 1 lakh crore rupees on this scheme. This will increase the storage capacity of 2,150 lakh tonnes in 5 years. In addition, there are plans to construct 500 to 2000 tonnes of godowns at the block level. How much grain will be saved from being ruined by these efforts, it is dependent on the future.


 Take special care of these things to overcome the lack of milk production

Take special care of these things to overcome the lack of milk production

Currently there is a shortage of milk in our India. The more milk we need, the production of as much milk is not being done in sufficient quantity. Annual milk yield 5000 kg in developed countries like Sweden, Denmark, Israel and America etc. The animal is per year. In comparison, only 1000 kg in India. The animal is per year. According to scientists, every person needs 280 grams of milk per day. At the same time, currently 190 grams of milk is present per day per person. Therefore, there is a great need to increase milk production in our India.


Animals provide nutrients especially from diet, fat, minerals, vitamins, proteins and carbohydrates, which are used by cattle for their living, growth, yields, breeding and functionality etc. Due to less milk -giving animals inside India, crores of landless and marginal farmers, use of remaining remains of crops and lack of pastures etc. Milk production is commonly found in areas of the country where mixed farming is done. In order to take milk production as business, the substances of fodder, grains, khali and grains should be available in abundance and smoothness.


Animals suffering from infertility should be expelled with a herd

Generally, infertility is seen in young animals up to 2-3 percent and in adult animals 5 to 6 percent, which should be removed from the herd. So that the milk production level cannot decline and there is no side effects on the income from them. Also, the expenses incurred in fodder, grain and care on these animals can be saved.


Take care of cattle health

Prevention of the disease in place of therapy is quite good, so that the expenses and risk caused by the uncertainty of better diagnosis in treatment can be protected. Cows and buffaloes are prone to various types of diseases. Because heat and humidity are very high in the weather here. Due to this, animals also die more. Animals must be vaccinated to protect them from these diseases.


Provide enough diet to animals

Proper food for animals is that which is gross, interesting, interesting, hunger and balanced. Also, sufficient green fodder has also been found in it, it has got suicide and it is going to provide satisfaction. Animals should usually give food 3 times on a short time of time. Animals should be mixed with green fodder like wheat straw, straw etc. By resourceing fodder and grain, the use of animal feed can also be increased by grinding grain, cutting and soaking etc. As far as possible, animals should be given separately as per the requirement and given separately. Every cow dynasty animal has 2 to 2.5 kg. And buffalo to 3 kg. 100 kg per 100 kg Dry substances should be given on the body. Animals should be given 2/3 of the dietary diet as fodder and 1/3 as grain. 1.5 kg to pregnant cows and buffaloes. Dana should be given every day. Physical development animals 1 to 1.5 kg. Per animals should be given for body development. 1 to 1.5 kg to live the animal to live. For grain and milk production, cows have 3 liters of milk per milk and 1 kg on 2.5 liters of milk respectively. Should give grain. Animal food is also mandatory to have adequate mineral salts and vitamins.


Produce a good breed heifer by conception

Animals should always be provided with sufficient amount of clean water. To maintain life, an animal needs a lot of water daily in a large amount of water. Since lack of water affects milk production. By earning semen from male animals with artificial methods, examining, cleaning the female's reproduction, proper time and proper place is called artificial insemination. Milk breed bulls and their superstitious semen should make their cows conception and earn a military heifer of advanced breed. Which will be worth conceiving by becoming a cow in two years, as well as providing more milk. The hybrid cow (jersey child) obtained through artificial insemination gives more milk. Also, when that hybrid jersey cow is rejected by jersey breed, the cow giving 15-20 liters of milk is achieved.


 Detailed information about production of onion in Rabi Season

Detailed information about production of onion in Rabi Season

Maharashtra is a major onion producing state of India. Here production of onions is done on a large scale. Here, onions are cultivated three times a year. Nashik, Pune, Solapur, Dhule and Ahmednagar are considered strongholds in the state for onion production. At present, Rabi season onion planting has started in Maharashtra. Farmers cultivate maximum onion in the state and here Asia’s largest onion market is in Lasalgaon, Nashik. Generally, cultivation of onions is done only once a year in different states. But it is nothing like here in Maharashtra. Three crops are done during a year in the state. Here it is produced in Kharif, post-Kharif and in Rabi season. Onions are a cash crop in Maharashtra. A majority of farmers here depend on its cultivation. Farmers get maximum production of onion in the Rabi season. 


When is the sowing of the second season of onion done?


The second season of  onion is sown in the month of october-november , which is currently being done in the state. It gets ready in between January and march. The third crop of onion is Rabi, which is sown in December-January. At the same time, it is harvested from March to May. 60 percent of total production of onion in the state occurs in Rabi season only. 



Onion is produced in large quantities in these districts of Maharashtra.  


Onion is cultivated most in Jalgaon, Dhule, Ahmednagar, Satara, Nashik, Pune and Solapur districts of Maharashtra. At the same time, farmers cultivate this crop in Marathwada district of Maharashtra. Nashik is famous for producing onions not only in Maharashtra but all over India. Out of its total production in India, 37 percent of onion is produced in Maharashtra and 10 percent of the onion production in the state is done only in Nashik.


What should be the soil for onion cultivation?


According to agricultural scientists, onions can be cultivated in different types of soil. But, excellent yield is obtained only in soils like clay, sand, loamy, gar and brown soil. To get high yield in onion cultivation, there should be good drainage facilities in the field.


What type of land should it be?


To prepare for the cultivation , first plowing of the land should be done three to four times. Also, add rotten manure to increase the amount of organic matter in the soil. After this, divide the field into small plots. Planting should be done on a 1.2 meter wide strip at a height of 15 cm from the land surface. 


How much fertilizers should be used?


Onion crop requires a large amount of nutrients. Manure and fertilizer should be used in onion crops on the basis of soil test. Rotten cow dung manure should be used in the field at the rate of 20-25 tonnes per hectare from one-two months before planting.


Great onion varieties and pruning time.


Bhima Shweta: This variety of white onion is already approved for Rabi season, this variety gives an average yield of 18-20 tonnes in Kharif while it gives an average yield of 26-30 tonnes in Rabi.

Bhima Super: This red onion variety has been identified for production in the Kharif season. It can also be grown as a late crop in the Kharif season. This variety gets ripe in a time interval of 95-100 days. Its production is approximately 20-22 tonnes per hectare.


Talking about the right time to prune onions, the right time to remove onions from the fields is when the moisture in the plant gets exhausted and its bulb starts coming up almost on its own.


What are social and physical factors that predominantly affect crop production?

What are social and physical factors that predominantly affect crop production?

For your information, let us tell you that physical factors play a very important role in deciding the type of crops that can be produced without any problem in a particular terrain or area. In this article of Meri Kheti, we will make you aware of some important physical and social factors. 

Climate form: Climate is one of the most important physical factors. Various crops require specific temperature limits, rainfall patterns and sunlight levels. For example, rice thrives in areas with abundant rainfall and warm temperatures, while wheat prefers cold and dry conditions. 

Soil quality: Soil composition, fertility and pH affect crop growth to a great extent. For example, some crops, such as potatoes thrive in acidic soil with proper drainage. At the same time, the rest of the crops such as soybean flourishing are mainly alkaline soils.

Also read: Know what are the ecology and its major components?


Land structure: The risk of landscape, drainage and sunlight, including the height of the land are some factors that greatly affect the risk of landscape. The mountainous regions can be quite favourable for grape gardens. At the same time, flat fields are suitable for wheat fields on a large scale. 

Natural disasters: Natural problems for crop growth such as drought, storm, flood and tsunami are sensitive conditions. All these natural disasters can compress crop yield or bind in a range. Flexibility is quite important for these disasters for sustainable agriculture


What are social environmental factors

Some of the important activities that have a direct effect on crop production. All such factors have been shambled under the social environment.

Economic conditions in the agriculture sector are especially affected. Farmers need access to financial resources to buy equipment, technology and seeds. Market dynamics and pricing structures also play a role in ensuring which crops are financially correct.

For your information, let us tell you that physical factors play a very important role in deciding the type of crops that can be produced without any problem in a particular terrain or area. In this article of Meri Kheti, we will make you aware of some important physical and social factors. 

Climate form: Climate is one of the most important physical factors. Various crops require specific temperature limits, rainfall patterns and sunlight levels. For example, rice thrives in areas with abundant rainfall and warm temperatures, while wheat prefers cold and dry conditions. 

Soil quality: Soil composition, fertility and pH affect crop growth to a great extent. For example, some crops, such as potatoes thrive in acidic soil with proper drainage. At the same time, the rest of the crops such as soybean flourishing are mainly alkaline soils.

Land structure: The risk of landscape, drainage and sunlight, including the height of the land are some factors that greatly affect the risk of landscape. The mountainous regions can be quite favourable for grape gardens. At the same time, flat fields are suitable for wheat fields on a large scale. 

Natural disasters: Natural problems for crop growth such as drought, storm, flood and tsunami are sensitive conditions. All these natural disasters can compress crop yield or bind in a range. Flexibility is quite important for these disasters for sustainable agriculture


What are social environmental factors

Some of the important activities that have a direct effect on crop production. All such factors have been shambled under the social environment.

Cultural practices affecting crop yields

Cultural priorities and traditions have a direct impact on the popularity of the crop. For example, rice cultivation is more prevalent in areas with a strong tradition of rice consumption. Cultural factors also affect farming methods and crop cycle practices.


Government policies affecting crop yields

If we talk about government policies, tariffs, grants and business agreements can encourage or discourage specific crops. These policies can have a profound impact on the profitability of major crops cultivation.


Causation

Availability of a spectacular workforce is extremely important for crop yields. The imperative of a very proper work force is ensured for labour -oriented crops like tea or coffee. At the same time, minimum labour resources may be required for mechanised crops.
