The latest incessant rains and resultant flood in canals and streams has not solely disrupted regular life but in addition has flooded the fields posing a danger to the standing crop.
Life has turned the other way up for nearly all farmers. Every farm is in water that’s two to three toes deep and crops like cotton is totally broken with cotton balls getting discoloured. The balls turned black and semi-red. Farmers fer that the yield might not be greater than 5% even when they’re ready to get labour to choose the cotton balls.
Paddy farmers are making all out efforts to save the standing crop. They try to hold the vegetation standing and never permitting it to fall into in the standing water. A farmer in Venkatapur village in Sadashivpet mandal in the district, P. Venkata Reddy, who has sown paddy in two acres discovered the crop had fallen into the water due to the rains.
In an effort to save his crop he employed labour to tie up with strings bunches of 5 to 10 vegetation which might be sure that the vegetation stay standing and never soak in the water.
“This is the fine variety Telangana Sona rice. I had spent about ₹ 18,000 for two acres to save the crop. The paddy yield per acre is expected to be around 20 quintals which roughly would give me 10 quintals of rice after milling. In the open market the rice should fetch me around ₹4,000 per quintal and I should get a revenue of ₹ 80,000 if I spend this amount. Though this is an additional burden for me there is no other go. What else can we do?” requested Mr. Venkata Reddy.
He shouldn’t be the just one in the district tying up vegetation to defend them, a quantity of farmers have already adopted the technique in the district.
