General Advisory

  • Field Operations: Resume manual weeding and interculturing once the soil dries to the 'Vapsa' (workable moisture) condition.
  • Spraying: Resume all scheduled pesticide, herbicide, and foliar sprays, as no rainfall is forecasted.
  • Nutrient Management: Apply any pending split doses of nitrogen (Urea) now that the weather is clear and dry.
  • Pest/Disease Watch: The warm and humid weather will trigger a rapid increase in sucking pests and fungal diseases. Monitor crops (like banana and cotton) closely and apply recommended treatments.
