Farm Advisory

AREAS AFFECTED BY THE WEATHER SYSTEMS
TC ESTER, SOUTHWEST MONSOON, THUNDERSTORMS AND MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINS
• Prepare for possible flooding and waterlogging in low-lying farm areas by ensuring proper drainage and clearing canals.
• Protect crops from excessive rain and strong winds by reinforcing plants (staking) and using temporary protective covers when possible.
• Monitor crops closely for diseases, especially fungal infections, due to high humidity and continuous rainfall.
• Avoid applying fertilizers and agricultural chemicals when heavy rains are expected to prevent nutrient loss through runoff.
• Plan early harvesting for crops that are already mature to minimize potential damage and post-harvest losses.
• Ensure the safety of livestock, farm equipment, and harvested produce from rain and flood exposure.
• Prepare emergency supplies and follow LGU advisories in case weather conditions worsen.
• Stay updated with the latest weather bulletins from DOST-PAGASA for timely guidance and warnings.
