Answers
Answer:
MAKE THIS AS BRAINLIEST
Explanation:
At a time when malnutrition is still high and food prices are fast increasing, the country is losing nearly Rs. 5,000-crore worth of nutritious vegetable and fruit crops every year due to nematode infestation and related diseases associated with soil-borne pathogens.
(Nematodes are harmful worms in the soil that affect the plant root system.)
This is only a conservative assessment as the losses due to nematode infestation and related diseases can range from 10 to 70 per cent, according to experts. The losses are extensive, particularly in the polyhouse cultivation system.
Answer:
Heavy rains that lashed the district in the last 48 hours have damaged crops, especially commercial crops, in Maddur and other taluks.
Banana plantations and other crops in several acres of land have been damaged in Basavegowdana Doddi, Chunchagahalli, Bannahalli and surrounding areas in Maddur taluk.
According to the reports reaching here, heavy rains have also damaged crops in some parts of Malavalli and Mandya taluks.
