In South Interior Karnataka:

  • Keep harvested produce of groundnut, maize, pepper, cardamom, turmeric, and coffee to dry in covered, ventilated areas or cover with tarpaulins to prevent spoilage.

General for Both Regions:

  • Drainage: Make arrangements to drain excess water from fields of rice, maize, finger millet, pigeon pea, soybean, groundnut, vegetables, and plantations of banana, black pepper, coconut, and arecanut to avoid water stagnation.
  • Support for Crops: Provide mechanical support to horticultural crops and staking to vegetables and young fruit plants to prevent lodging due to strong winds.
  • Harvested Crops: Tie harvested crops and cover them to minimize displacement due to strong winds.
  • Animal Care: Keep animals inside sheds during heavy rainfall and provide balanced feed.
  • Feed Storage: Store feed and fodder in safe places to protect from rain and damage.
