SA BAWAT ISANG kilo ng damo sa ating palayan, isang kilong ani ang kabawasan! 😨

Ipinapakita ng mga pag-aaral na sa bawat yunit ng biomass ng damo, ang ani ay nababawasan ng parehong dami.

Ilan sa mga nakakapinsalang "grasses" o damong may buko na kailangan puksain agad sa palayan:

🌿Telebisyon o Echinochloa crus-gali (L.) Beauv.
🌿Trigo-trigohan o Ischaemum rugosum Salisb.
🌿Palay maya o Leptochloa chinensis L.

Ang "grasses" ay mahaba at makitid ang mga dahon, parallel ang mga ugat ng dahon, at mayroong lapak na nakabalot sa puno.

✅ Para maiwasan ang mga damo, siguraduhing nahanda ng mabuti ang lupa, dekalidad na binhi ang ginamit, at panatiling malinis ang palayan.

✅ Magpatubig 3-4 araw matapos maglipat tanim na may taas na 2-3 cm; at 7-10 araw matapos magsabog-tanim na may taas na 3-5 cm.

𝐑𝐎𝐋𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐖𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐈𝐍 𝐀𝐆𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐔𝐋𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐄 ⛅

The majority are aware of how weather significantly affects the agriculture sector. Indeed, for crops to thrive, they require the fundamentals of moisture, warmth, and sunlight. What is less clear, however, is how a farmer's decision can be influenced by the specifics of weather information, enabling them to plan well, cut expenses, and increase yields as a result.

While farmers must make different day-to-day decisions related to weather conditions, there are four primary areas of farming that are fundamentally affected impacted by weather:

🌾 𝐂𝐑𝐎𝐏 𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐖𝐓𝐇 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐈𝐑𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍
It takes the right combination of moisture, light, and temperature for crops to grow or produce. Farmers can better understand and follow the growth status/stage to make educated decisions by having access to detailed and accurate historical, real-time, and forecast weather information. With this information at hand, farmers can make important and potentially expensive choices like whether, when, and how much to irrigate.

⛈️ 𝐅𝐄𝐑𝐓𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐙𝐄𝐑 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐃𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘
Making decisions on when, how much, and in what form to apply fertilizer is just one of the many choices that farmers must make. The proper application of fertilizer can be ensured by using weather forecasts.

🐛 𝐏𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐄𝐀𝐒𝐄 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐓𝐑𝐎𝐋
Certain weather patterns favor the establishment and spread of pests and illnesses, which can ruin crops. When incorporating forecast information into pest and disease modeling, it might be easier to decide whether and when to use pest or disease management.

⛏️ 𝐅𝐈𝐄𝐋𝐃 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐊𝐀𝐁𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘
The availability of days that are appropriate for fieldwork is referred to as field workability. Accurate field-level meteorological data can aid farmers in determining the viability of their fields and improving daily operations.
