Welcome Relief for Farmers of Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Karnataka - By Dr. B K Singh & Purnima Nair

 


  • The cyclonic circulation which has created a low-pressure area at Bay of Bengal has resulted in heavy rains over Odisha and Chhattisgarh.
  • This Cyclonic circulation will move towards Madhya Pradesh and will recurve from its path. Due to this cyclonic circulation in central India, heavy rains have been predicted over Madhya Pradesh for next 2 days benefitting Soybean crop.
  • As the Cyclonic circulation is taking a recurve, there will be moderate rain in the neighboring districts of Eastern Rajasthan- Alwar, bharatpur, Deeg, Sambhar, Hindaun, Gangapur and adjoining districts. Benefit for Guar and cotton crop. 
  • There will be moderate rains in certain districts of Maharashtra- Valsad, Pachora Jalgaon, Dhule, Surat and nearby Districts for initial 2 days. But very heavy rainfall is likely to occur over Nandurbar, Dondaicha, Aichale, Aurangabad, Paithan, Gangapur, Hasnapur and adjoining districts from September 8-9. Benefit for sugarcane and paddy.
  • There will be moderate rain over coastal Karnataka- Belthangadi, Puttur, Kokkada for upcoming 2-3 days and will gradually decrease.

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 ...

BKC Aggregators wins HDFC Digital Innovation Award

Good, better, best and never take rest until your good becomes better and better become best; it is the principle which is followed by Dr BK Singh, who is working tirelessly for the welfare of farming community across the country. After winning the Agriculture Grand Challenge (Govt. of India) 2018, BKC Aggregators has won HDFC's Digital Innovation Summit which was organized at IIM Ahmedabad, Gujarat on 31st January 2019.   FASAL SALAH provides timely and personalised agri- advisory for the welfare of farmers, a perfect solution for several problems being faced by farmers. Using dynamic crop models and artificial intelligence analytics, BKC has been able to generate an algorithm for calculation of yields well before the harvest. Thus it is possible now to have an accurate estimate of the crop before it is harvested by the farmers. Forecasting the yield before harvest is going to become strong tool for several problems associated to the losses and difficulties being...

Cotton, Soybean Crops Soaked by Monsoon Fury

  Cotton Crop: Delayed Arrivals and Quality Concerns The 2025–26 cotton season is grappling with significant climatic disruptions across key growing regions. Extended rainfall in southern states—Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Karnataka—has adversely affected standing cotton crops and complicated harvest timelines. In Karnataka, districts such as Yadgir, Shahpur, and Jewargi have experienced heavy rainfall over the past 4–5 days, resulting in waterlogging and crop stress. While the full extent of damage remains under assessment, cotton arrivals expected to be delayed. In Maharashtra, the situation is particularly alarming, with relentless rainfall since May leading to the submergence of over 5,100 hectares of cotton fields across talukas such as Malegaon, Nandgaon, Surgana, and Igatpuri. The impact extends beyond cotton, with maize and onion crops also suffering extensive damage. Farmers in these regions are urgently seeking government intervention as damage assessments contin...
