MYSURU: Floods caused by incessant rains in parts of Mysuru and Chamarajanagar have nearly ruined crops in more than 23,000 hectares of land leaving farmers engaged in cultivating vegetables and pulses devastated. According to officials, this may result in a hike in vegetable prices in the coming months.
Farmers who have been cultivating seasonal vegetables like tomatoes, cucumber, capsicum, beans, chillies, brinjal, onion, and bananas have incurred heavy loss due to water logging in their fields. Fungal and pest attack to the crop in the twin districts further worsened their loss.
