Bumper mustard production expected
Farmers of Mawla Beel are expecting a bumper mustard production in the 400-bigha waterlogged land this season thanks to favourable weather.
The land has been waterlogged for months, in which mustard plants have grown very well in the current season.
The farmers said mustered cultivation is getting popular among them and could contribute to the national economy.
Hundreds of farmers of the beel had been planting mustard in the lands with the help of agricultural officials.
The whole area is now buzzing with the bees to collect honey from the blooming mustard field.
The farmers have stepped up efforts to set up hundreds of honey collecting boxes in the field to tap honey next year for additional income.
A period between October and mid-November is the best time for mustard farming.
Beramara Department of Agriculture Extension had also taken initiative for its plantation and the DAE is also expecting a bumper production in this season.
