The Met Office has asked the farmers of cotton crop areas to prepare their field for next Rabi season and complete sowing on time. Growers should timely cultivate winter vegetables with a view to utilise present soil moisture fully. Farmers should also take precautionary measures to protect livestock from expected dry and cold weather in the next 10 days.
Farmers of rain-dependent areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab should complete cultivation of Rabi crops at the earliest. The soil moisture is very suitable for crops' growth following rains during the cold season. Normal wind pattern may prevail in most of the agricultural plains, besides nighttime temperatures to drop slightly by 1-2 degrees Celsius and days are likely to be slightly normal.
