Rain Brings Relief for Farmers
Considering the monsoon conditions in Bhagalpur and surrounding areas, farmers have gained new hope. Intermittent rainfall in recent days has increased moisture levels in agricultural fields, creating suitable conditions for paddy cultivation.

Agriculture Department Issues Suggestions for Farmers

In many areas, farmers have already started transplantation work with the help of agricultural workers. The process is expected to accelerate further after rainfall.
Kharif Crop Depends on Monsoon
In Bihar, Kharif crops largely depend on monsoon rainfall. Paddy is one of the most important crops for farmers. Timely and adequate rainfall provides major benefits to paddy cultivation.
Farmers said they are hopeful of good rainfall this season, which may improve production. However, balanced and regular rainfall is necessary for a successful crop.
Irrigation Costs Expected to Reduce
