Agrometeorological Advisories
Livestock :
1. Light to moderate rainfall may be expected for next five day.
2. During raining time kids lambs and calves are to be protected from rain and chillness.
3. Due to light rainfall relative humidity shall increase, which along with high
temperature will cause more stress to the animals. Hence provide adequate
ventilation and provide cool drinking water and shade to the animals to reduce heat
stress.
4. Feeders should be raised in poultry shed between 10 am to 5 pm; provide mineral
mixture and B-complex vitamins in drinking water to avoid heat stroke.
5. Water tanks and lines may be covered with gunny bags to provide cool drinking
water.
6. Sheep, goats and young calves should be dewormed by using suitable anthelmintics.
7. Repeat breeders shall be supplemented with 50 grams of mineral mixture and high
protein diet daily to improve the conception rate.
Agriculture :Imp.Crops: Rice, Sugarcane and Groundnut
Rain-fed Groundnut crops: Flowering stage.
1. Farmers are advised to utilize the expected rainfall for rainfed groundnut crop.
2. Due to dry weather conditions incidence of sucking pest will be more in vegetables. Hence
spray neem seed kernal extract 5 per cent to control white fly and jassids incidence in
bhendi, brinjal and tomato
3. In the sugarcane crops spray potash and urea each at 2.5% level during moisture stress
(water shortage) period at 15days interval.
4. Drip irrigation can be followed to reduce the water shortage.
5. The root zone of horticulture crops should covered with coir pith to conserve moisture.
6. Incidence of pod borer, shoot and leaf webber is being noticed in summer sesame due to
the prevailing hot weather condition. To control this, spray Quinolphos 25 EC at 400
ml/acre or Neem oil 2%.
