Preventive
• Strengthening early warning system and
forecasting
• Development of infrastructure for providing
micro irrigation (e.g. drip irrigation, sprinkler irrigation and rain gun)
• Change in sowing time
• Selection of less water requiring crops.
• Selection of short duration/heat stress
tolerant varieties.
• Application of 5 tons of composted coir pith
per hectare before sowing.
• Adoption of mulching for moisture conservation
in soil.
• Apply potassium, calcium and micronutrients
such as boron (1 kg ha-1), manganese and selenium to avoid heat stress.
