FARMING ADVISORIES

NORTHEAST MONSOON, SHEARLINE, EASTERLIES, AND THUNDERSTORMS AND MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINS

  • Keep drainage clear to stop water from pooling.
  • Use natural or slow-release fertilizers to keep soil healthy.
  • Check for pests and diseases often and treat them early.
  • Cover crops to protect them from heavy rain and wind.
  • Harvest on dry days to keep crops fresh and safe.
Dry crops well to prevent mold and spoilage.

ENSO ALERT SYSTEM STATUS

Reinforce embankments, build terraces, or plant ground cover to prevent soil erosion from heavy rains and stabilize the soil. Adjust irrigation schedules during heavy rainfall to avoid over-irrigation and flooding in already saturated fields. Collect and store runoff water in ponds for irrigation use during dry periods. Minimize fieldwork during heavy rains to prevent soil compaction, exposure to wet conditions, and accidents. Use appropriate rain gear and equipment for safety if necessary.
