  • Ensure excellent drainage, especially as monsoon approaches, to avoid waterlogging in nurseries and fields.
  • Mulching (dry leaves/straw) helps save moisture during dry spells and keeps weeds down.
  • Prefer drip or furrow irrigation for water-efficient use, especially for gourds and tomato where possible.
