Final Monsoon Showers over Rajasthan- Bringing Hope to Fennel and Fenugreek Farmers

This year Monsoon has been affected by EL Nino, with a large deficiency of rainfall. Due to August dry spell, crops like cotton, soybean, guar, Bajra and til in Rajasthan had severely been affected. Farmers are now preparing to sow fennel and fenugreek as their ideal sowing time is approaching. Meanwhile, light-moderate rainfalls are anticipated over some regions of Rajasthan before the withdrawal of Monsoon.

Let us review how these rainfall conditions are going to Favour sowing of Fennel and Fenugreek.

Fig: Rainfall forecast map

Regions like, Bhilwara, Dausa, pratapgad, Tonk etc., are forecast with light-moderate rainfall during next 3-4 days.

Fennel(saunf) growing regions of Rajasthan like Sawai Madhopur, Dausa, Tonk, etc., are likely to receive moderate rainfall during September 24-26.

Jalore and sirohi are also expected with light rainfall.

Fenugreek growing regions like Bikaner, Jodhpur, Churu are much likely to receive light-moderate rainfall during September 24-25.

Sikar, Jhunjhunu regions are anticipated to receive rainfall during September 24-25, and Nagaur region on September 26.

These rainfall conditions would help in sowing of Fenugreek and Fennel by adding up the soil moisture and improving the germination.

As it is the final period of Monsoon, rainfalls in these areas would last probably only till 26-27 September and will be taking a withdrawal later.

Advisory to Farmers:

Farmers to wait until the end of September in order to proceed with sowing, to avoid drowning and rotting of seed due to rainfall.

Technology - Advising Farmers and Crop Yield Assesment

Food security in the light of climate change is a global imperative. In developing nations, the problem is exacerbated by variable weather, lack of reliable extension services to optimize yield and fair market access. In India, most farmers do not have access to weather advisory forecasts that are hyper local to their field and timely in nature. As all farming activities are heavily dependent on weather, decisions on application of fertilizers and pesticide, irrigation, and even plucking of fruits & vegetables and harvesting cannot be taken efficiently. In addition, significant crop losses, that are entirely preventable, accrue through adverse weather events. Crop advisory services, where available, are generic and not pegged to a farmer's seed variety, date of sowing, and growing conditions and hence do not dispense timely, actionable advice, directly relevant to a farmer. Likewise, market trends pertinent to their particular crop and location ...
