Mixed impact of rains on agriculture in Chittoor and Annamayya districts
IN · Published Oct 22, 2026
• Light to moderate rainfall has been reported across Chittoor and Annamayya districts in Andhra Pradesh, with mixed effects on agricultural activities.
• While the rain has been beneficial for mango orchards and rabi groundnut sowing, it poses risks to harvested paddy stored in open threshing yards.

Impact & Risks

Farmers in Chittoor and Annamayya districts face varied impacts from the rainfall. While mango and groundnut growers benefit from the moisture, those storing harvested paddy in open areas risk grain quality deterioration due to night rains. Tomato growers in Madanapalle may face early blight if stagnant water persists. Additionally, second crop paddy nurseries in Rayachoti and Chinnamandem are experiencing favourable conditions, but excess moisture could lead to challenges in low-lying fields.
