Heavy rain leaches nutrients, spreads disease and waterlogs roots. A few timely steps protect your crop through the monsoon.
Manage water first
Drainage is priority number one — waterlogged roots can’t take up nutrients. After heavy rain, nitrogen and potassium are often leached away and need replacing, ideally through quick foliar feeds while fields are too wet for machinery.
Monsoon Checklist
| Task | Action |
|---|---|
| Drainage | Clear channels before rain peaks |
| Replace leached N & K | Foliar UAN 32 / K-URJA |
| Disease guard | Preventive sprays, silicon for strength |
| Micronutrients | Foliar top-ups on wet fields |
👉 Pro tip: Foliar feeding shines in the monsoon — you can nourish the crop even when fields are too wet to enter.

- Drainage protects roots
