FARMING ADVISORIES

LPA, EASTERLIES, AND THUNDERSTORMS AND MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINS • Apply organic matter such as compost or mulch to improve soil fertility and moisture retention. • Rotate crops to prevent soil depletion and reduce pest and disease buildup. • Avoid excessive fertilizer application to prevent nutrient leaching and water contamination. • Utilize rainwater harvesting techniques to supplement irrigation. • Process surplus harvests (e.g., drying, fermenting, or preserving) to extend shelf life and reduce waste.

ENSO ALERT SYSTEM STATUS

Clear and maintain drainage canals, ditches, and waterways to prevent waterlogging and root rot. Excessive rain can leach nutrients from the soil. Apply slow-release or organic fertilizers to maintain soil fertility. Avoid applying fertilizers before heavy rains to prevent nutrient loss. Inspect and repair farmhouses, storage facilities, and greenhouses
