Dr. Mohamed Ali Faheem, Head of the Climate Change Information Centre, Agricultural Research Centre, announced the beginning of a period «Hosse days» From 10 to 18 March, it is a critical transition period, with severe air fluctuations of approximately 8 to 10 days, which requires vigilance and caution by farmers throughout the Republic.
Nature «Hosse days» And its climatic effect.
It is clear that this period is historically marked by divergent winds and rapid fluctuations between warmth and cold.
He noted that the weather forecast for the beginning of next week indicated a new decline in temperatures, with a significant difference between night and day temperature.
The seriousness of these fluctuations lies in synchronization with a sensitive phase of fruit trees and soap vegetables ( tunnels), requiring rapid and smart agricultural interventions to protect crops from heat stress.
Urgent recommendations for wheat farmers
The head of the Climate Change Information Centre sent a package of technical advice to wheat farmers to ensure that this period is safely transited and the highest productivity achieved, as follows:
The timing of irrigation must be early morning irrigation to avoid wind periods.
Supporting fertilizers are advised to add (10 - 15 kg) to potassium ancestral to the acres with irrigation, so as to expedite the process of grain filling and improve its quality and weight.
Warning. «The stake.»
And warn them, it's a common mistake to ignore the recent wheat flag. «The stake.» It must be more important to raise the rigour and increase the weight of cereals, directly reflecting the totality of the acres.
