(Dekadal Agrometeorologicals)
During the third dekad of July 2017, most of Meher crops growing areas have exhibited better
rainfall in amount and distribution when it compare with the previous dekads. Some areas also
experienced heavy fall ranging from 30.5 to 69.7 mm of rain within 24 hours. It is believed that
such a weather condition could give an opportunity to collect and store rain water for areas often
face water stress problem. The condition also might have positive implication to enhance the soil
moisture availability and hereby could satisfy water need of crops which are found at different
growing stage. It also could have a significant implication for the supply of drinking water and
pasture over pastoral and agro pastoral areas. Moreover, its advancement toward the northeast
and the east part of the country could give some relief to areas which have encountered series
water stress during the previous dekads
