KAU advisory for farmers on drought mitigation

Kerala Agricultural University (KAU) has issued an advisory on the measures to be adopted in the agricultural sector in view of severe drought situation in the State.
The unprecedented rise in atmospheric temperature and the fact that soil temperature will be higher than atmospheric mercury level have made drought-mitigation measures imperative, according to KAU scientists.
The university has urged farmers to protect their crops with organic mulching and water-efficient micro-irrigation practices, and by avoiding chemical fertilizers and pesticides unless the situation warrants it.
