According to irrigation officials, farmers may start paddy cultivation in Nagarjunasagar Right Canal ayacut in Guntur and Prakasam districts till September-end as sufficient water is available. The agriculture department is making arrangements to supply seeds and fertilisers for farmers in the ayacut. In Palnadu, farmers have started cultivation of chillis and cotton.
