FARMING ADVISORIES

TD WILMA, SHEAR LINE, NORTHEAST MONSOON, THUNDERSTORMS AND MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINS
• Inspect all crop areas carefully for lodging, stem breakage, waterlogging, and early signs of pest or disease infestation.
• Check soil condition and identify areas affected by erosion, silt or sand deposits, and blocked drainage channels.
• Document field conditions by taking clear photos or videos for reporting, insurance claims, or government assistance.
• Uplift and straighten lodged plants once the soil is firm enough to avoid further root damage.
• Apply a light dose of nitrogen fertilizer (such as urea or ammonium sulfate) to support crop recovery and stimulate new growth.
• Remove or prune severely damaged leaves, stems, or fruit to reduce the risk of rotting and the spread of diseases.
• Repair damaged bunds, levees, and dikes to restore proper water management and prevent further flooding.
• Clear irrigation and drainage canals to ensure smooth water flow and avoid waterlogging in the coming days.
• Monitor fields regularly for emerging pests and diseases that usually appear after prolonged rains.
• Assess if replanting is needed for crops that experienced severe damage, prioritizing fast-growing or short-duration varieties.

ENSO ALERT SYSTEM STATUS

(updated: 26 November 2025)

LA NIÑA ALERT

https://pagasa.dost.gov.ph/climate/elnino-la-nina/monitoring

Select flood-tolerant or short-maturing crop varieties in areas that frequently experience heavy rains, and adjust planting schedules to avoid peak rainfall periods whenever possible. Improve soil structure and drainage by applying organic matter or compost. Keep canals, drainageways, and waterways clear of debris to allow rapid runoff during intense rainfall events. Apply mulch around plants to reduce soil splash, minimize erosion and weed growth, and help maintain balanced soil moisture. Construct temporary barriers or diversion ditches to channel excess water away from crop areas. Inspect greenhouses, trellises, and shade nets, and reinforce their support structures to withstand strong winds and heavy rains. Check and store farm machinery in elevated, dry, and secure locations, and ensure that fuel, fertilizers, and agricultural chemicals are safely stored and properly sealed. Regularly monitor the DOST-PAGASA website and official pages for updated forecasts and advisories specific to your area.
