In the past 48 hours, excessive rainfall was recorded in the Tembrusoda revenue circle of Chikhaldara tehsil and the Shendurjana Ghat revenue circle of Warud tehsil. Continuous widespread rainfall is causing crops to turn yellow, creating a new crisis for farmers. Due to heavy rain in most areas, soybean crops have been adversely affected. In fields where water has accumulated, the chances of crops turning yellow are significantly higher. As the roots are unable to get air, the plants become weak, increasing the likelihood of fungal infections in the coming days.
