Agriculture department officials inspected the paddy crop that was damaged by rains in Tallur village of Bogolu mandal on Saturday morning. Farmers are facing difficulties as the paddy that was harvested fell to the ground.
Agriculture department officials have advised farmers to take necessary steps to drain the water completely from the fields during the rice harvest season. They said that if the crop is submerged in water for a long time, the seeds may sprout. They have advised spraying a 5 percent salt solution to prevent this.
Agriculture officials said that if the crop damage is severe, they will send reports to the government and arrange for assistance.
