The forecast for next week is a mix of rainfall, cloudy conditions and thunderstorms across the period.
These conditions may affect fieldwork, harvesting and movement around farms.
Farmers should:
- Monitor fields for waterlogging, keep drainage channels clear and watch for pests and fungal diseases favoured by wet conditions.
- Use available drier periods to harvest mature crops, and move produce promptly for proper drying and storage.
- Assess soil moisture and drainage before planting, and consider crops or varieties that can mature within the remaining rainfall period.
- Plan spraying, fertiliser application and other field activities around rainfall, as heavy rain shortly after application can reduce effectiveness.
- Keep animals and feed protected from prolonged wet conditions, and ensure shelters remain dry and well ventilated.
Weather conditions can change quickly and may differ from one location to another within Oyo State. Farmers are encouraged to pay attention to local conditions and adjust farm activities accordingly.
