Farmers in the lower half of the country especially those in central regions are advised to take up poultry rearing houses to maintain optimum room temperature and take care against the rapid changes in air temperature and relative humidity.
Removing weeds from the standing crops is very important as weeds utilize moisture and food which are to be utilized by the crop. As a result considerable loss in yield occurs every year.
Due to low temperatures, farmers of particular areas in the northern areas of the country are advised to take precautionary measures for protection of their crops and livestock from the expected frost.
