BANTEN - Farmers in the Banten area are asked to be aware of the peak of the rainy season around January 2022 or the impact of the La Nina cycle for agricultural land.
Head of the Banten Provincial Agriculture Office, Agus M. Tauchid, said that in general the rainy season gives blessings to farmers because of the availability of water in the rice fields. But at its peak, farmers' fields will be hit by floods.
"This is something we need to watch out for," Agus said in Serang as quoted by Antara, Friday, November 11.
Agus suggested that farmers whose rice fields have the potential for flooding to register at the Rice Crop Business Insurance (AUTP). Agricultural extension workers through BPP are also asked to be active in conducting counseling on acceleration of land cultivation and planting in areas that have the potential for flooding.
The goal is for farmers to use seeds with puddle resistant varieties.
"You also ask that farmers and extension workers optimize the results of the Operational Climate Field School to be applied in the field," said Agus.
