Soybean farmers in Madhya Pradesh are struggling with yellow mosaic virus, exacerbated by waterlogging from heavy rains. Experts stress the need for early detection, effective drainage, and control methods to prevent widespread crop failure.

Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan announced that farmers in Madhya Pradesh can now sell their soybean at the Minimum Support Price (MSP).

The central government will procure soybean at the Minimum Support Price (MSP) of Rs 4,894 per quintal under the Price Support Scheme (PSS) to protect farmers from economic losses and ensure fair compensation.

In the Dhar district of Madhya Pradesh, the farming community engages in agricultural preparations from Akshaya Tritiya every year.
