Kanive, A. 8: The white stem disease is increasingly affecting the corn crop grown by farmers in semi-irrigated areas. Due to this, the corn crop is being damaged and the farmers are worried.
Due to the white stem disease that affects the corn plants, which should grow green and abundantly, between 30 and 50 days after sowing, all the corn plants are turning from white to brown and starting to dry up.
As soon as the sown corn appears on the ground, farmers are getting excited about growing the crop by spraying chemical pesticides that are harmful to the soil and human health.
This corn crop, which used to bring in some limited income with low costs compared to other crops, has now become a crop that is emptying the pockets of the farmers, is the complaint of many farmers in Kushalnagar taluk. The Agriculture Department has urged the farmers to immediately start supplying and maintaining disease-free seeds to the farmers using modern technology. It costs Rs 15 to 20 thousand to grow musukina jola on one acre of land.
If the jola crop sown on this same acre of land grows well and yields, then if the farmer gets 20 to 25 quintals of jola, he will get a total of Rs 45 to 50 thousand if he sells it for a minimum of Rs 2000 to a maximum of Rs 2200 per quintal in the market. After deducting the expenses, the jola crop that grows and is harvested in 120 days will bring an income of Rs 15 to 20 thousand after deducting the expenses. However, the farmers are facing immense financial hardship due to the white stem disease that is currently affecting them, said Torenuru Pragati Pro farmer T.L. Roop Mahesh.
