News2News.in News, Bhiwani. With the temperature rising above 30 degrees Celsius and the cloudy sky, the severity of Dholiya (Jalebis) disease has increased in the late mustard harvest. Due to the high mercury content, white stubble formed instead of beans in the late must harvest. The flowers on the plants have also decayed and started to turn into stubble. Due to the continuous increase in heat, the disease in question has spread continuously in the mustard crop. If the disease continues to progress at the same rate, farmers may have to lose their must crop. Farmers’ concerns have grown after seeing crops being destroyed.

After the first week of February, mercury suddenly began to rise completely. Currently, the mercury is between 30 and 32 degrees Celsius. Due to the high mercury content, there is an increased need for irrigation in the crops. Due to the high mercury content, damage has also occurred in the late mustard harvest. The mustard crop that has flowers left. The effects of excessive heat are visible in these crops. Instead of the flower that was there, a white stump has now formed. Jalebia disease has also developed in many plants. The whole sprig of mustard became round like a jalebi. Instead of producing pods and flowers on these branches, white powder was scattered. On which neither the pod nor the branch could move forward. Because of such plants, the average mustard yield is inevitable.

What is Jalebiyan disease?

After high temperatures, the mustard plant gets Chepa or Dholiyan disease. If dholia disease is not treated, this disease will continue to progress and thereafter the branch will become round (jalebi) instead of growing. All its flowers fall. No pods grow. The plant remains only like a tree stump. After the formation of Jalebia disease, pods do not appear on this branch. Without prevention, this disease will continue to progress. It moves from one plant to another in its arms. This type of disease reduces yields by more than half. This disease is most common in the late mustard harvest. The early mustard harvest is finished after flowering.

Wheat yield will also decrease due to excessive heat

Not only the mustard but also the wheat crop will be affected by the sudden increase in mercury. Because if the heat is too high, the plant doesn’t get a chance to bloom or swell. Due to the heat, earrings will soon appear on the plant. At the same time, grains begin to form in the ears, but they do not bloom properly due to the excessive heat. Wheat gets ready in less time. In such a situation, the wheat crop requires more water. In the absence of canal water, farmers have to irrigate their fields with the help of tube wells, hitting farmers twice.
