NEW DELHI (Commoditiescontrol) - Cotton planting reached 104.29 lakh ha as of July 20 compared to same period last year at 86.86 lakh ha according to Ministry of Agriculture.
Cotton planting has progressed 85 percent of the total normal area at 122.46 lakh ha and remained significantly ahead 13 percent from the normal area as on date at 92.06 lakh ha showing signs of positivity in planting.
Reports from the field suggest that crop conditions were rated superior in North India with prospects of better yield while Central and South India received a good spell of above normal levels of rainfall which nullified all fear in relation to crop growth and possibilities of re-sowing.
However, rainfall recorded was excess in Gujarat causing waterlogging in some cotton fields. No major damage was officially reported but if rainfall persisted over the weekend then there could be some impact to the late sown crop’s yield which is an early assumption and should not be ignored.
Following data is the state wise cotton acreage report as on July 20. The weekly report is compiled by Directorate of Cotton Development, Nagpur and released by Ministry of Agriculture, India.
