Agricultural Advisory for Arunachal Pradesh

To ensure optimal crop management and minimize damage due to forecasted heavy rainfall, farmers in Arunachal Pradesh are advised to follow these guidelines:

  • Land Preparation for Mustard and Field Pea: Undertake land preparation for sowing mustard and field pea. Avoid land preparation on sloping areas. If ploughing has already been done, cover the field with a thin layer of crop residue or dry straw to reduce the impact of rainfall.
  • Postpone Sowing and Land Preparation: Due to the warning of heavy rain, postpone fresh sowing and land preparation activities.
  • Management of Sown Fields: In already sown fields, ensure proper drainage to prevent water stagnation. Cover the sown area with straw or crop residues to minimize the impact of heavy rain.

By following these measures, farmers can protect their crops and ensure better yields despite challenging weather conditions.
