  • Apply compost or organic fertilizers to improve soil fertility and boost nutrient availability.
  • Store harvested produce properly in clean, well-ventilated, and temperature-controlled environments to maintain freshness and quality.
  • Use organic mulches, such as rice straw, dried leaves, wood chips, or hay, to retain soil warmth and moisture.
  • Create drainage channels to remove water from waterlogged fields and prevent root rot. Check for soil erosion and replenish topsoil with organic matter or compost as needed.
