Concerns Rise Over Tur Crop in Latur Due to Rainfall Deficit

20-Aug-2026 11:44 AM

Monsoon conditions remain weak in the Latur region. Due to insufficient rainfall, Tur sowing in the area this year is reported to be approximately 10–15 percent lower compared to last year.

The region has not received significant rainfall for about 10 days, leading to a growing moisture deficit in the fields. The Tur crop is currently in urgent need of rain. If adequate rainfall does not occur soon, the crop's initial growth could be hampered, and the overall development of the plants could be adversely affected.

According to market sources, Tur-growing farmers in the Latur region are currently awaiting good rainfall. Given the weak monsoon and reduced sowing, weather conditions are likely to have a significant impact on future Tur production. Rainfall over the next few days will be crucial for the crop's condition and production prospects.
