Storm No. 3 is forecast to cause heavy rain, risk of flooding, affecting crop production (about 74,000 hectares of the province's winter-spring rice crop are in the stage of heading, ripening, and greening, and nearly 14,000 hectares of vegetables, medicinal plants, ornamental plants, and fruit trees).

Use plastic covers to limit the effects of storms on crops.

To minimize the impact caused by storms, the agricultural sector recommends that localities proactively take technical measures. For areas of green rice, if they are knocked down by storms and heavy rains, farmers should be instructed to set up and tie rice to prevent the rice grains from germinating on the panicles; drain the water from the fields and spray pesticides to prevent planthoppers and brown spot disease that occurs after heavy rains. Areas of rice that have not yet flowered should pay attention to drainage to avoid rice panicles being submerged in water, which will rot, greatly affecting productivity.

Temporarily stop planting crops and preserve seedlings in pots and seeds well, wait for the rain to stop and the weather to clear up before continuing planting. Quickly harvest areas ready for harvest; isolate areas at risk of being affected by storms to have a quick treatment plan, clear the flow of water on drainage channels, and ensure quick and neat drainage for areas at risk of flooding.
