Geojit Financial Services's report on Daily Agri Picks

Sowing of rabi crops in Telangana was at 7.3 million acres (1 acre = 0.4 hectares) as of Wednesday, up 10.3% from 6.6 million acres a year ago, according to a report released by the state agriculture department. The normal acreage for the season in the state is 6.4 million acres, the report said. Maize acreage in the state rose 22.2% on year to 789,049 acres, the report showed. The acreage of paddy rose to 5.6 acres from 5.0 acres a year ago. Similarly, the area under jowar rose to 238,166 acres from 227,826 acres a year ago. Rabi crops are sown between October and December after the monsoon, and harvested between February and May. However, sowing started late this year because of delay in withdrawal of the southwest monsoon, which in turn delayed the harvest of kharif crops. The acreage of chana fell to 220,187 acres from 255,187 acres a year ago, according to the report. On the other hand, the area under black gram, or urad, rose to 46,470 acres from 35,551 acres. The total area sown under all pulses fell to 289,691 acres from 318,556 acres a year ago. The total area under all oilseeds was 286,910 acres, up from 271,538 acres a year ago, the report showed. Under oilseeds, groundnut acreage rose to 236,774 acres from 208,791 acres. Tobacco acreage in the state so far rose to 15,360 acres from 9,902 acres a year ago, while sugarcane acreage rose to 12,407 acres from 4,525 acres. Most crops are in the seedling to vegetative stage, the report said, adding that paddy transplantation has been completed. The water level in reservoirs across Telangana was 496.15 billion cubic metres as of Wednesday, compared with 298.33 billion cubic metres a year ago, according to the report.
