General Advisory
- Ensure proper drainage of excess water from the fields, especially from low-lying areas, to prevent prolonged water stagnation.
- Provide support to weak or lodging-prone crops and strengthen field bunds where necessary to minimize damage from strong winds.
- Regularly monitor crops for pest and disease incidence after rainfall and take timely management measures based on the observed incidence.
- Avoid application of fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and foliar nutrients during rainfall, thunderstorms or strong winds.
- Postpone weeding, intercultivation and other field operations during wet conditions.
- During thunderstorms and lightning, farmers and farm workers should avoid working in open fields and move to a safe shelter.
- Monitor weather and lightning alerts through KALP, SANKALP, AgriNet AP, Meghdoot, Mausam, and Damini apps, and follow timely weather-based crop management advisories.
