Since June 1, the government’s decision in Punjab has caused a stir. As experts regret, Chief Minister Bakwant Man is busy with government products for relocation. Agricultural experts misrepresent the government’s decision. Paddy cultivation is described as the reason for the lack of ground water in Punjab. According to experts, the rice area has been increasing manifold since the early 1960s, due to some policy measures and technical components made in national food security. This has increased the water crisis in Punjab.
Law for sowing rice
Under the Ground Water Conservation Act 2009, the government has the right to notify rice nursery and then refers to the date of planting. This is done to prevent the sowing of rice in the pre -monsoon period in order to reduce the gap between rice and dry and heat conditions of the year and reduce the water demand for irrigation.
How was sowing in the 1980s
According to Ludhiana University of Punjab, The Tripune wrote that the time of sowing rice was fifteen days from July until 1985. After that, it was done until June 10. But at the same time, many farmers were also seen planting rice in the second fifteen or last week of May. The benefits of avoiding immigrant workers, pests and pusa 44 (not recommended) were increasing in advance.
The water crisis has increased in Punjab
Two months of May and June when there is a lot of loss in evaporation. Also, irrigation is also needed to grow crops. Because of this, due to irregular rice relocation and increased area, Punjab caused an unusual water level. In 2008, by a command, the date of relocation of the rice was brought under the order, which emerged as an act in 2009.

The situation has occurred and serious
After these important advances, there were many studies. In these studies, Mohali, Robar, Amritsar, Torn Taran, Jalandhar, Kapurtala, Moha and Basilka districts have suffered enough at the water level and have different effects elsewhere. Punjab has not received significant rainfall in the rainy season in the last 20 years, and it has seen a lower fall. Because of this, the state has further collapsed at the water level. Because of this, the situation has become very difficult.

What happened from 2015 to 2017
The government extended the transfer date from 2015 to 2017 to June 10 to June 15. In 2018, it was presented until June 20. In 2013, a variety of rice was released on PR 121, which is ready to cook in 110 days. In 2017, the ripening PR 126 was released in 93 days. Farmers began to accept these types instead of Busa 44. Apart from saving water, farmers need to make better or equivalent profits than short -term types as they need pesticides and the remaining input.
Why is it necessary to relocate the right date
In addition, the lower survival of these varieties made it easier to maintain paddy straw in the in-citu, that is, in mulch or soil. This reduced the need to clean the paddy straw and work in the field for sowing the next crop. It concluded the need for the time between the two crops. The date of relocation of rice serves as an important component. In addition, the management of short-term rice and in-cyt rice straw will reduce the water demand of the crop. Also, organic components can also be added to the soil.
