Weather Conditions Trigger Advisory
Agriculture departments across northern states issued advisories warning farmers of increased frost risk as temperatures continue to drop sharply during the ongoing cold spell.
Crops at Risk
Wheat, mustard, vegetables, and horticultural crops are particularly vulnerable to frost damage at this stage of the growing season, officials said.
Official Advisory for Farmers
Farmers have been advised to irrigate fields lightly during evenings, use smoke methods where feasible, and avoid excessive nitrogen fertiliser use to reduce crop stress.
Where to Get Help
Farmers can contact local agriculture offices or Krishi Vigyan Kendras for crop-specific guidance and weather updates over the coming days.
