Irrigation

• Give light irrigation every 5–7 days (soil-moisture based, as needed for new sowings/maturing crops).
  
• Avoid water stagnation, especially in nursery beds and new plantings; ensure good drainage.
  
• Use mulching (dry leaves/straw/plastic where feasible) to save moisture and reduce weeds.
  
• Prefer drip or furrow irrigation for row crops like tomato, brinjal, and cauliflower where possible.
