Farmers advised to delay paddy transplantation due to low rainfall

Farmers advised to delay paddy transplantation due to low rainfall

Farmers in the Krishna Eastern Delta have been advised to delay planting rice for the next 15 to 20 days.

This is because there has not been enough rain recently, and there is not enough water for irrigation.

The government officials are hopeful that they can bring more water from the Godavari River to the Krishna Delta.

Farmers are worried about not having enough water, but the officials are optimistic.

They suggest planting rice varieties that grow quickly to reduce the risk of not having enough water.
