Ripples Advisory, Pink bollworm likely to hit sowing of the cotton crop in Gujarat
According to state government sources in Gujarat, cotton sowing was only 9,339 hectares or 0.37% of the normal three-year average sowing in the first week of this month
Fear of infestation by the pink bollworm may hit sowing of the cotton crop in Gujarat. Another impediment that could come in the way is the acute scarcity of water.
According to a trade official, even in Maharashtra and central Indian states like Rajasthan, the situation could be similar to Gujarat.
Their major worry is the monsoon, which got delayed after its initial arrival, especially in Maharashtra. The pink bollworm had damaged crops in many parts of the country in the last two years and even BT cotton crop was not completely safe from the pest. “After a humble start, if the monsoon delays, that leaves the cotton sowing vulnerable to pest attack,” said the official.
According to state government sources in Gujarat, cotton sowing was only 9,339 hectares or 0.37 percent of the normal three-year average sowing in the first week of this month. During the same period in 2017, it was 49,400 hectares; in 2016, it stood at 15,200 hectares.
