This is how farmers should protect themselves if it rains
Agricultural experts say that there is every possibility of rain now. That’s why it is most important that there should be proper drainage system in the field. If the drainage is not done properly then the fields will be filled with water. It will increase the risk of rotting of crops. Crops will also be affected by scorching and other diseases.
Take care if the land is not flat
Waterlogging is more in the fields or other places, on flat land or in places with pits. So keep in mind that while plowing the field it should be slightly sloping. Water does not get accumulated in this type of field. Farming can also be done by keeping the field a little higher. If there is a flat land and there is a situation of water logging, then the farmers can drain out the filled water by cutting the meadows in the fields.
can also sprinkle
Experts are of the opinion that mixing 750 grams of zinc, five kg of urea in 200 liters of water and spraying it. Mix two packets of NPK in it in fixed quantity. Apart from this, add four to five bags of gypsum per acre. This will help in absorbing water well.
These crops can be harmed
In many parts of the country, sowing of Rabi season crops is almost complete. Farmers have sown wheat, peas, tomatoes, paddy, soyabean, garlic, onions and other crops. Agricultural experts say that there will be no damage to the crop due to light rain. But if there is heavy rain and there is a danger of hailstorm, then the farmers may have to bear heavy losses. Farmers should be ready to protect against this.
