  • Use pheromone traps for fruit/borer insects and keep fields clean of weeds.

Irrigation

  • Give irrigation as needed, especially if no rain for 4-5 days (soil-moisture based).
  • Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, especially after rains.
  • Use mulching (dry leaves/straw/plastic where feasible) to save moisture and reduce weeds.
  • Prefer drip or furrow irrigation for gourds and tomato where possible.

Conclusion

  • Raise and transplant nursery crops like tomato, brinjal, cauliflower, cabbage, and chilli at the right spacing.
  • Consider sowing early pea at month-end to grab higher market prices.
  • Keep a close eye on pests and diseases, ensuring timely, light irrigation and good drainage as monsoon retreats.
