Sowing yet to gain traction in south interior Karnataka
The Hindu
It is attributed to below normal, patchy pre-monsoon showers
The pre-monsoon showers in south interior Karnataka region are below normal and patchy which has affected sowing activity. As a result sowing is much below the stipulated target and the authorities hope rains in the days ahead will help give a thrust to agricultural activities. In Mysuru, there were intermittent rains during April but they were neither uniform nor widespread and did not cover a large swathe of the rural hinterland. As a result, the farmers are also going slow in preparing the land for sowing.More Related News
