crop adversely. Rains followed by foggy weather favors development of
`powdery mildew' disease. Weather conditions at this point of
time are very crucial for mango crop, as this is flowering time. Heavy
rains in recent at Talala and sasan gir areas in Junagadh district have
resulted in shedding of flowers. These areas are largest mango producing
regions of Saurashtra. Experts feel that it would be too early to try
assessing weather losses; however, a delay of a month or so in crop
maturity cannot be ruled out. Kesar mango, which arrives in early April
in normal crop years, is unlikely to arrive before Mid-May this year.
