Farm Advisory

AREAS AFFECTED BY THE WEATHER SYSTEMS
EASTERLIES, AND THUNDERSTORMS AND MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINS

  • Regularly inspect crops for signs of pests and diseases to quickly address any outbreaks.
  • Adjust the frequency of irrigation based on weather conditions, soil type, and crop needs.
  • Ensure that irrigation is consistent, especially during dry periods, to maintain healthy plant growth.
  • Regularly inspect and clean drainage channels to prevent blockages caused by debris, soil, or other obstructions.
  • Harvest crops when the weather is dry to prevent damage from excess moisture, which can lead to spoilage, fungal infections, and lower market value.
  • Handle produce carefully during transportation to avoid physical damage or contamination.

Implement water conservation practices such as rainwater harvesting and soil moisture monitoring to sustain crop growth. Regularly inspect and maintain irrigation systems to ensure efficient water distribution and prevent potential shortages. Monitor crops for fungal diseases, applying early detection methods and organic control measures as needed. Conduct regular field inspections to track pest activity and implement Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies for effective control. Strengthen farm structures, storage facilities, and drainage systems to enhance resilience against sudden weather changes and localized heavy rains.

HEAT INDEX MONITORING AND FORECASTING (OBSERVED AND 2-DAY FORECAST)
The Heat Index is a human discomfort index that gives the apparent temperature on what humans perceive or feel as the temperature (from the surroundings) affecting the body. High air temperature and high relative humidity results to high apparent temperature
