The monastery is cultivated in 1880 hectares in Mandal and 650 hectares in Viramgam. In the last fortnight, rains have lashed the Ahmedabad district, leaving farmers worried about the future of cultivation. If it rains in the coming days, agriculture is likely to get a lifeline. Sanand, Daskaroi, Bavala and Dholka have access to irrigation water from Kharikat and Fatewadi canals, which relieve farmers in the area.
Cotton has been planted in 22.22 lakh hectares in Gujarat.
Sukaro in groundnut, caterpillar in cotton Peanuts and cotton are the most cultivated in Saurashtra. This time, the planting has been very good, but the caterpillar infestation in cotton has increased due to the stretch of rains and the farmers who cultivate cotton are likely to suffer huge losses. In Gujarat, cotton is cultivated on an average of 25.53 lakh hectares. Cotton has been planted in 22.22 lakh hectares, so it won’t be easy to reach the average planting. Similarly, groundnut cultivation has come to a standstill at 18.93 lakh hectares. Peanut cultivation was 20.37 lakh hectares last year, but the groundnut crop has started thriving due to a lack of rainfall. The world is in trouble.
