Blight Disease Threatens Rabi Crops: Farmers Can Save Yields with Timely Action
•
Mid-February to end of March is critical for Rabi crops due to blight disease, caused by moisture, warmth, and cold nights.

Untreated blight can lead to significant yield loss, affecting bulbs in onions/garlic and fruit formation in tomatoes.
