POKOK SENA: The extreme heatwave affecting the Pokok Sena district is believed to be one of the reasons for a decline in padi yields by between 20% to 30% compared to the previous season.
"Suddenly, the temperature rose significantly, causing the padi plants to dry out quickly, resulting in less-filled rice grains. "But we are confident that as long as there is assurance from the Muda Agricultural Development Authority that the water levels from the three dams are sufficient for irrigation next season, we are not too worried about replanting later, but we need to be more aware of weather forecasts to avoid early water loss from the fields and follow the planting schedule set by Mada," he said.
"My padi yields are also not high; with strong heat, the padi becomes dry and less filled compared to the previous season. Previously, we used to get more than seven tonnes, but now, just about six tonnes per hectare are considered acceptable.
