Cotton

Punjab
In the major growing area of Punjab (Faridkot, Muktsar, Bhatinda, Ferozpur and Mansa), Cotton crop is in growth stage .The prevailing humid hot weather condition and very good cumulative rainfall for the last ten days have facilitated vegetative growth of the crop which will help for square formation and flowering.

In the central zone, the states of Gujarat , Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra received widespread rainfall which facilitated sowing of cotton crop in the last week of June and first week of July. The continuing hot and humid condition and well distributed rainfall facilitated the growth and development of the crop . It is expected that during this year cotton production will be increased.
