Effect of monsoon changes on crop production!!!

According to research being done on indian monsoon and weather, weather systems are gradually changing, as a result of which regional changes are being seen in the distribution of monsoon, due to which rainfall has decreased in the north-western region of india (which includes Punjab, haryana and Jammu and Kashmir). Whereas more rainfall has started in the western (Rajasthan, Gujarat) and south-western (Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra) regions.

The regional changes in the distribution of monsoon are also linked to the changes in the farming methods that have come about in the northern plains and central india in the last few decades, which affect the distribution of moisture and dust particles in the atmosphere and change the trend of local monsoon. Due to this, monsoons are becoming dense and raining even before moving towards the north-west. The changes taking place in monsoon are happening differently for every region, which is like a puzzle and its effect is affecting the agriculture work, especially the production of Kharif crops including paddy.

Changes being seen in many states

Between june and september, the distribution of monsoon gradually decreases from east to west, in which the eastern states including Bihar-Jharkhand, Odisha, West bengal and assam and the northeastern states receive more rainfall. Its quantity keeps decreasing towards the west. The western states still usually receive moderate rainfall. In the last few years, the unexpected increase in rainfall in Gujarat, maharashtra and rajasthan during august and september has started showing changes in the normal distribution of regional monsoon rainfall.

Apart from Gujarat, maharashtra and rajasthan have also received heavy rainfall this year, which is still continuing. Now the relatively dry western region has started receiving the blessings of the monsoon, while the plains of the east and north are becoming relatively dry. This year also, from june till now, the eastern region has received 32% less rainfall than the average, whereas a normal monsoon is expected this year.
