Rabi sowing has been hit in Andhra Pradesh with cyclone after cyclone ravaging the State.
With weathermen forecasting a violent cyclone Lehar this week, rabi sowing might be delayed further.
Farmers had lost 11 lakh hectares or one-seventh of the total cropped area during the kharif harvest. Others had to defer the harvest because of incessant rains.
This has a cascading impact on rabi sowing. Reports reaching here suggest that farmers have covered 9 lakh hectares against the as-on-date sowing average of 13 lakh ha.
The total rabi area in the State is put at 39 lakh ha.
