The area under pulses crops such as tur and moong and cereals, mainly maize, are witnessing a major jump in Karnataka on good pre-monsoon showers with farmers preferring to plant these crops. This is despite monsoon turning a bit erratic over the past couple of weeks leading to a rainfall deficit in about seven of the 31 districts in the State.
