Preventive measures are to be taken based on a prediction before it
happened. The following preventive measures are recommended for drought:

• Perform off-season ploughing to conserve moisture and to facilitate early sowing
• Follow partial mechanization to ensure timeliness in operation
• Adopt intercropping/ mixed-cropping/integrated farming system in recurrent drought-prone areas
