Women take the controls as farms embrace new tech in Telangana

Heavy rains in Warangal and Khammam districts have damaged maize and paddy stocks in market yards. Farmers are struggling with reduced prices from traders, while the Meteorological Department has warned of waterlogging in low-lying areas. Urgent government intervention is sought

Horticulture focuses on intensively managed, high‑value plants grown for food, aesthetics, or environmental purposes. It sits between home gardening and large‑scale agriculture in terms of scale and management intensity.

JANGAON: Hundreds of acres of paddy and maize crops are withering in Palakurthy, Devaruppula and Kodakandla mandals of Jangaon district due to severe water shortage during the ongoing Yasangi season. The situation has become so dire that farmers are leaving their cattle to graze in their agricultural fields. According to farmers, there is not enough water either in borewells or agricultural wells, resulting in crops drying up in the fields. They appealed to officials to release water from the Nawapet and Station Ghanpur reservoirs to the upper catchment areas in these mandals to save the standing crops. B Ramdan, a farmer from Lakawat Thanda in Devaruppula mandal, said even borewells had dried up and that he was not receiving a single drop of water to save the standing crop. “With no other option, I have left the paddy crop in my two acres for cattle grazing. The dried crop has caused losses running into lakhs,” he said, appealing to the state government to provide compensation and take steps to save the remaining crops.

Jangaon: Jangaon district collector Sandeep Kumar Jha on Tuesday urged farmers to take advantage of seed melas being organised in all mandals from June 23 to June 30 to procure certified quality seeds and agricultural inputs for the upcoming Kharif season. Inaugurating a Seed Mela at the Rythu Vedika in Narmetta mandal, Jha said the agriculture department had made extensive arrangements to provide certified seeds at reasonable prices under one roof. He said the melas are offering a range of paddy, pulse, oil and vegetable seeds, besides agricultural inputs, such as nano urea and DAP.

Jangaon: Warangal MP and DISHA Committee Chairperson Kadiyam Kavya directed officials to prioritise agriculture and strengthen education and healthcare sectors in Jangaon district. Addressing the DISHA Committee meeting at the Integrated Collectorate on Tuesday, Kavya reviewed the implementation of Central and State government development and welfare schemes. She instructed officials to ensure that benefits reach every eligible beneficiary transparently and without delay.
