Hathor Crop Guidance
Mohamed Ali Fahim, head of the Climate Change Information Center at the Agricultural Research Center, has issued 20 recommendations for farmers during Hathor, as nighttime temperatures drop and the difference between day and night temperatures widens—conditions that may reduce nutrient uptake and increase disease. The recommendations are: 1. Plant wheat in accordance with the recommended variety map and planting dates, using certified seed and raised beds, except in saline soils. 2. Do not delay wheat’s first irrigation beyond 22–25 days after planting, and control weeds early. 3. Speed up planting of fava beans in Lower Egypt. 4. For land affected by broomrape, plant between November 15 and 20 and use Giza 716 or Giza 843 varieties. For soils with some salinity, use Sakha 1. 5. Prepare land for medicinal and aromatic plants with sulfur and superphosphate, and control weeds and root rot. 6. Support carrots with seaweed extracts, phosphorus, magnesium, and fulvic acid. 7. Monitor peas for leaf spot and apply phosphorus. 8. Reduce nitrogen and increase potassium for winter potatoes; do not use growth regulators after 90 days. 9. Do not rush to plant summer potatoes in wet soils, and use ammonium sulfate or ammonium nitrate for the first fertilizer application. 10. Reduce soil moisture in garlic and onion crops, and inspect them for flies, thrips, and disease. 11. Reduce nitrogen for early strawberries, maintain balanced nutrition, and take preventive measures against disease. 12. Avoid overwatering winter beans, and monitor for bean flies and root diseases. 13. Plant flax in the first half of November and prepare the soil with superphosphate and sulfur. 14. Check tomatoes for disease, and diagnose leaf curl before assuming it is a viral infection. 15. Do not delay the alfalfa cutting, and supply the crop with phosphorus. 16. Carry out winter maintenance on fruit trees through pruning, orchard cleanup, and insect control. 17. Prune peaches, apricots, and grapes at the appropriate time, and avoid pruning grapes prematurely without careful consideration. 18. Maintain balanced potassium nutrition for citrus and monitor for fruit flies. 19. Supply sugar beet with phosphorus and monitor for Cercospora leaf spot. 20. Ensure sugarcane receives potassium during the sugar-storage stage. Fahim stressed the importance of managing irrigation and conducting regular inspections, while avoiding the arbitrary mixing of pesticides or use of chemical products and growth regulators. He noted that good crop care and early prevention during Hathor help protect crops and improve the season’s results.
