It will take another week to know whether the inundated cotton crop would be affected or not.
A team of six scientists from Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru College of Agriculture and from other institutions, along with a team of the district agriculture department, headed by Mr. Ganesan, visited some of the rain-affected cotton fields.
P.G. Somu, joint secretary of Delta Vivasayigal Sangam Karaikal Chapter, said the summer rain had come at a time when the crop was at the flowering stage. The rain will affect the yield, he said.
