Anantapur: People of Rayalaseema are finding it peculiar that while their region is still rain deficit, awaiting to take up sowings for the Kharif season, major projects in the Krishna basin are receiving heavy floods, with many reservoirs about to reach their full storage. Agriculture scientist Narayana Swamy underlined that during the current season, not even 20 per cent of groundnut has been sown in combined Anantapur district, which is a top grower of groundnut in the country. Though farmers can sow groundnut till August first week, agriculture scientists of Rekulakunta research station say sowings during July provide better yields to farmers. After the first week of August, however, it is better that farmers cultivate alternative crops rather than groundnut, officials of Rekulakunta station have advised. A farmer Manjunath from Guddampalli in Madakasira mandal said due to deficit rainfall, he is planning to plant other seasonal crops instead of groundnut this year.
