In Kailali, wheat production this year is estimated to be less than last year. According to the results of the average productivity test of the wheat crop conducted by the Agricultural Knowledge Center in the last week of March, it is seen that the production will be lower than last year.
This year, the average productivity of wheat is estimated to be 3.35 metric tons per hectare, said Madanraj Joshi, head of the planning and statistics branch of Krishi Gyan Kendra Kailali.
According to him, the productivity of 342 metric tons per hectare was slightly higher than this year. Joshi said that the quantity of wheat production was estimated on the basis of the productivity test conducted in 11 local levels of Terai Bheg except Chure and Mohanyal Rural Municipality, 2 local levels of Kailali.
Data officer Joshi said that the production of grain crops such as wheat and rice is more in the eastern part of Kailali. "This year too, wheat production is good in Bardagoria, Janki, Joshipur, Bhajani, Gauriganga areas," he said. In the surrounding areas There are 213 metric tons per hectare.
According to the data of Krishi Gyan Kendra Kailali, 1 lakh 12 thousand 312 metric tons of wheat was produced in the district last year. This year, it is estimated that 1 lakh 10 thousand 14 metric tons will be produced due to a slight decrease in productivity. 68 thousand 976 hectares of wheat are cultivated in the district.
"Productivity seems to have decreased due to the lack of rain during the winter at the required time for the wheat crop, less irrigation facilities compared to cultivated land and less use of advanced seeding," said Joshi, the head of the statistics branch, "Although 40,300 hectares are irrigated for twelve months by canals, channels and borings, 28,946 hectares are cultivated on the basis of seasonal rains." He said that it is important not to fall.
This is how crop productivity is estimated.
In the villages of different local levels of the district, around the time the wheat harvest is ready and brought in, a team of agricultural experts reaches the fields for productivity testing. The iron ring of 1 square meters is placed in the field and the crops grown in a certain area are harvested and collected.
'From one place to 5 places in the same field, crops are cut and collected from the area within 1/1 square meter iron ring,' says Nripnath Yogi, the technical staff of Krishi Gyan Kendra Kailali. Annual productivity has been estimated.
Krishi Gyan Kendra has been providing farmers with small irrigation schemes, advanced seeds, mechanization and pesticides to prevent various diseases and infections in crops. But the farmers have been complaining that government support and subsidies are not enough.
They have expressed their pain because chemical fertilizers are not available at the time, they have to import poor fertilizers from the market in the border areas, advanced seeds are not available at the time and they have to buy very expensive seeds. The productivity of the crops is decreasing as the farmers are not attracted to the modern agricultural system without getting a fair price for the grain they produce. They say.
