He said the delay in monsoon had adversely affected all kharif crops, particularly bajra. |
Subhash Dagar of Sagarpur village claimed that the rains would be helpful in reviving nearly all the kharif crops, including sugarcane, paddy, bajra, jowar and pulses. |
He said cultivation of paddy and bajra would receive a boost from the rain and added that the rain would also do good to cotton and guar crops. |
The foodgrains that were being looked into were lentils, bajra, jowari and corn to name a few, he said. |
Indian agriculture is not just about wheat, rice and bajra or thuvar dal and moong. |
Apart from soya and wheat, eChoupals will also cater to mustard, bajra and pulses and later horticultural produce over a period of time, he said. |
