Air We Breathe | Why late rainfall may lead to more intense farm fires

Hindustan Times  

An unexpected drop in temperatures caused by unseasonal rainfall may have reduced pollution levels in the national capital and the northern plains, but it will further delay maturing of paddy, leaving a shorter window for farmers in Punjab and Haryana to sow the next crop, forcing cultivators to resort to burning stubble, and leading to a more intense pollution spike in the region. “We have developed a mobile application on which information related to availability of each machine for management of paddy stubble would be displayed and farmers can hire the machine,” said Punjab agriculture minister Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal, who hopes that in spite of the vagaries of the weather the number of farm fires will come down this time. “So far we have managed to take the farmers along and there were only 81 incidents of farm fires reported in the state till October 9, but now we fear that a delayed harvest will leave a shorter widow for sowing of next crop, causing more farm fires,” said a senior officer from Haryana’s agriculture department, requesting anonymity. I have dropped plans to grow mustard on the remaining 10 acres under paddy because of the delayed harvest and bad weather.” “We are motivating farmers to make the best use of the machinery given to them for in-situ management of paddy straw,” a Punjab official said, adding that this season 32,100 machines for stubble management would be given to farmers, of which at least 10,000 had been dispatched to end-users.
