Barring rice and wheat, all rabi crops harvested

Harvesting of most rabi crops, barring wheat and rice, has been done throughout the region. The wheat harvest is expected to be around in most States by the close of the month, an official statement mentioned on Sunday.

Though harvesting of pulses crops these kinds of as gram, lentil, urad, moong and other people, sown around 158.1 lakh hectares (lha) and that of rapeseed-mustard lined on 70 lha, is entirely around in most States other than Punjab, farmers have reaped 81.55 per cent of wheat sown around 315.eight lha. Nonetheless, Punjab has forty per cent of wheat to harvest, Haryana 35 per cent and Uttar Pradesh 20 per cent and they are expected to complete it by the close of this month, the statement mentioned.

On the other hand, only forty per cent of wintertime rice, planted around 45.32 lha, has been harvested so considerably. Groundnut harvest has been carried out only on sixty two per cent of the seven.34 lha until date.
