AREAS AFFECTED BY THE WEATHER SYSTEMS
SOUTHWEST MONSOON, THUNDERSTORMS AND MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINS
- Wet weather promotes fungal development and can cause damage to stored farm products, reduce the quality, viability and market price of the grains. Thus, it is advised to keep barns and crop storage rooms in good, dry, and well-ventilated condition.
- Mulching helps protect the soil from erosion caused by wind and rain. It reduces the impact of raindrops on the soil surface and slows down water runoff, allowing more water to infiltrate the soil.
- Use controlled irrigation systems that allow precise water application to avoid oversaturation. Implement systems to capture and store rainwater for controlled use, reducing surface water accumulation.
