After rain, 1k ha of Ramnad chilli hit by fungal disease

UNSEASONAL rainfall has become a cause of concern for farmers in the district, as fungal disease has affected chilli crop on nearly 1,000 hectares here. In light of this, farmers urged the state government to distribute compensation to start cultivation.

Chilli crop, including samba and mundu varieties, are cultivated on 11,500 hectares in Ramanathapuram, largely in rain-fed areas such as Kamudhi, Kadaladi, Mudukulathur, Thirupullani and Paramakudi.
