As a result of the cold wave that has been persisting for a few days, there has been no report of any damage to the farmers' crops so far.

However, if the low temperature is maintained for a long time, Mohant Roy, the farmer of Boro paddy field of Sonarai Union, thinks that it may be a cause of damage to Boro paddy seed bed, corn, potato.

If we fail to cultivate paddy, we take small straws and fight in the field.On the other hand, Satyendranath (Nandi), a maize farmer of Ward No. 9 of Harinchara Union, and Altaf Ali (Bhond), a potato and pepper farmer of the same area, said that they have sprayed similar drugs on the potato and pepper plants but it is not working. If the plantation is destroyed, Dhaka will be unable to recover under the pressure of debt.

Meanwhile, according to the upazila agriculture office, there is no possibility of any damage, the problem will be resolved only if it rains, it is predicted to rain on Sunday and Monday on January 18, 19, 20. However, Abdul Hamid, officer-in-charge of the Syedpur Airport Meteorological Office, confirmed the matter.

However, the agriculture office official says that borodan seeds are growing all over the country. Boro saplings have also been planted in a few acres of land. In this situation, we are also giving various suggestions to the farmers from the upazila agriculture office to avoid damage to the saplings.
It is said in the advice, cover the paddy seedbed from morning to evening with transparent polythene, keep 3-5 cm of water in the seedbed, tap water can also be used280 grams of urea fertilizer can be applied in one percent seedbed if the seedlings turn yellow.

If the cold is prolonged, the farmer can spray medicine to prevent the corn, white and potato from sprouting. Farmers are advised to use some medicines to prevent leaf loss and other diseases.
