THE FUSE

Water logging is a common problem for many farmers, reducing crop yields and affecting soil health. Excess water in fields can suffocate roots, promote fungal diseases, and delay planting and harvesting. Effective drainage solutions are essential to maintain healthy crops and maximise productivity. The first step is identifying areas prone to water logging. Low-lying sections, poorly sloped fields, and compacted soils are most at risk. Observing water flow after heavy rains can help pinpoint problem zones. Soil testing is also recommended to understand permeability and drainage capacity.
