Continuous Rain in North India Damaging Mustard Crop
★ Ongoing rainfall across North India is adversely affecting the mustard crop. At this time of the season, arrivals of mustard in most markets were expected to be at their peak, but rains have disrupted the situation. Standing crops in the fields have suffered damage as waterlogging is leading to deterioration in grain quality.
★ In addition, continuous rainfall over standing crops is increasing the weight of the plants, causing them to lodge (fall), which may further impact both yield and quality.
