Pepper and durian growers in the South need to be on guard against unseasonal rains.

Although the South is entering the end of the rainy season (rainfall is forecast to decrease this December), there are still unseasonal showers, so pepper and durian farmers need to monitor...

According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, at the beginning of this week, December 4, the North and North Central regions will still be cold (temperature 19-21 ^degrees Celsius) but will gradually warm up towards the end of the week, with sunny weather from noon to afternoon, and only cold at night and in the morning. Heavy rain in the Central region will also gradually decrease from December 4.

According to the Center for Hydro-Meteorological Technology (under the General Department of Hydro-Meteorology), in the South, from December 5 to 8, there will be showers in the afternoon and evening, sunny during the day, and air temperatures ranging from 23.8 to 31 ^degrees Celsius.

In the Southeast, pepper plants are currently in the fruit-bearing stage, requiring soil moisture of about 70%-90%. However, in some places, soil moisture is only 37% (for example Ba Ria - Vung Tau ) while in some places soil moisture is 97% (Tay Ninh).

Therefore, hydrometeorological experts note that pepper growers in the Southeast (especially Ba Ria - Vung Tau) need to provide enough water for pepper to ensure grain yield and grain quality.

On the contrary, durian trees in the Southeast are currently in the budding stage and do not like weather with too much humidity, so farmers in Tay Ninh need to hold back water and clear weeds so that the durian can differentiate flower buds.
