Bhojpur, May 24: Farmers in Bokhim of Bhojpur are worried after the wind accompanying the rain damaged their chilli cultivation. The heavy winds knocked down the blooming Akabare chilli plants, said Local farmer Kumar Bista.
Most of the farmers in Bokhim have been cultivating Akabare chillies commercially, using modern technologies.
Farmers say that apart from natural disasters, problems such as root rot, yellowing of leaves and infestation of fruits have started to appear more frequently in recent times.
Commercial chilli cultivation is done in Bokhim, Pokhare, Bhainshipankha and other areas of Bhojpur Municipality.(RSS)
