FARMING ADVISORIES

NORTHEAST MONSOON, EASTERLIES, SHEARLINE, AND THUNDERSTORMS AND MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINS • Inspect crops regularly for pests and diseases and address outbreaks immediately. • Adjust irrigation frequency based on weather, soil type, and crop needs. • Avoid over-irrigation to prevent root rot. Water plants early morning for better absorption. • Inspect and clean drainage channels regularly to prevent blockages. • Harvest crops on dry days to avoid spoilage, fungal infections, and loss of market value. • Handle produce carefully during transport to prevent damage and contamination

ENSO ALERT SYSTEM STATUS

Enhance farm resilience by building drainage canals to prevent waterlogging and applying fungicides or biocontrol agents to manage fungal diseases. Prune fruit trees to reduce wind damage and store tools and machinery in covered areas to prevent deterioration. Regularly inspect crops for stress, pests, or diseases and apply necessary treatments. Repair damaged irrigation channels and dikes to prepare for future rainfall. To reduce post-harvest losses and increase income, process perishable products into value-added goods such as dried fruits, pickled vegetables, or flour
