Farm Advisory

AREAS AFFECTED BY THE WEATHER SYSTEMS
NORTHEAST MONSOON, SHEAR LINE, THUNDERSTORMS AND MODERATE TO HEAVY RAINS

  • Construct or repair drainage canals, dikes, and contour bunds before continuous rainfall.
  • For upland farms, install contour hedgerows or barriers to reduce soil erosion.
  • Use raised beds for vegetables to prevent waterlogging.
  • For lowland rice, ensure paddies have good drainage and are protected from flood overflow.
  • Delay fertilizer application until after heavy rainfall to reduce nutrient loss through leaching.
  • Conduct regular field monitoring for pests and fungal diseases that thrive in wet conditions (e.g., rice blast, bacterial blight, leaf spot, and fruit rot).
  • Use biocontrols or recommended fungicides when early symptoms appear.

ENSO ALERT SYSTEM STATUS
(updated: 04 December 2025)

https://www.pagasa.dost.gov.ph/climate/el-nino-la-nina/monitoring
Farmers are advised to harvest mature crops early to avoid losses from persistent La Niña rains. Reinforce storage areas and drying facilities to protect produce from heavy rainfall and strong winds. Maintain good drainage in the farm areas to prevent flooding and damage. Increase monitoring for pests and diseases that thrive in wet conditions. Regularly monitor weather reports and advisories from PAGASA and Department of Agriculture and implement soil conservation practices.
