Experts from the Punjab Agriculture department in an advisory issued on Thursday said that cotton farmers should drain water in fields or shift it to sugarcane or fodder crops in nearby fields. They also suggested that if drainage is impossible, it should be shifted to a ditch dug at any one edge of the field. Experts said the roots of a cotton plant stop working after receiving heavy watering and suggested using spray of urea solution in case crop went pale and repeating it after 10 days, if needed.
