General Advisory

  • Avoid unnecessary irrigation and postpone the application of fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides during rainfall. Provide adequate support to vulnerable crops such as banana and other horticultural crops to minimize lodging and wind damage. Protect harvested crops, grains and other farm produce by storing them in covered, dry and elevated places. After rainfall, monitor crops for fungal diseases and undertake need-based plant protection measures when weather conditions become favourable. During thunderstorms, lightning, squalls and strong surface winds, farmers should avoid working in open fields and take shelter in safe buildings.
