Summer is one of the most challenging seasons for farmers. With soaring temperatures, water scarcity, and increased risk of pests, crops and soil health require extra attention. But with the right practices and eco-friendly solutions, you can turn summer farming into a season of opportunity.
Why Summer Care Matters
Hot weather can lead to:
Soil losing moisture quickly
Plants becoming stressed and less productive
Higher chances of pest infestations
Reduced microbial activity in the soil
Taking small but consistent steps can help farmers protect their land and ensure healthy yields.
Practical Tips for Summer Farming
Mulching for Moisture Retention
Covering soil with organic mulch helps reduce water evaporation and keeps roots cool.
Use Bio-fertilizers Wisely
Products enriched with beneficial microbes improve soil fertility and boost plant resilience against stress.
Smart Irrigation
Adopt drip irrigation or water early in the morning/late evening to reduce wastage.
Eco-friendly Pest Control
Natural bio-pesticides protect crops without harming beneficial insects or soil health.
Crop Rotation & Intercropping
Diversifying crops improves soil structure and prevents pest buildup.
A Gentle Reminder
