Al-Mafraq Agriculture Advises Farmers on Heatwave Safety
The Mafraq Department of Agriculture has called on farmers to stay cautious and vigilant during the current heatwave. This includes adhering to agricultural guidelines to mitigate the effects of drought on plants. The department advises regular and deep watering early in the morning or after sunset, while avoiding watering during noon hours. Additionally, using potassium is recommended to enhance plants' heat tolerance and to help regulate water balance. It also recommends refraining from pruning or intensive nitrogen fertilization during this period, and avoiding the spraying of pesticides and foliar fertilizers in high temperatures. Farmers are urged to monitor their plants daily for any signs of stress or damage and to take swift action, especially for young trees and seedlings, which are more vulnerable to high temperatures.
