Adaptation Actions
41 - 60 of 174
277 - Avoid planting on flood plains or areas close to streams, creeks and rivers
278 - Plant water tolerant root crops like water taro and soft mud taro
279 - Find water tolerant varieties with help from regional and national research institutions
280 - Plant bananas in water-prone areas as they grow well with a high level of moisture; good productivity
281 - Grow wet tolerant vegetable species (e.g. Susut and cucumber and eggplant)
282 - Protect crops and germinants from excessive Rainfallin greenhouses
283 - Change planting timing according to seasonal climate forecasts, especially la Niña events
284 - Harvest yams early (at the first sign of leaves turning yellow) so that they will not have a chance to rot in the groups.
285 - Use contour planting to prevent soil erosion during floods or storms
286 - Practice minimal tillage agriculture
287 - Utilize vetiver grasses to hold and prevent topsoil loss from gardens
288 - Utilize animal manure to counteract soil nutrient leeching in rainy times
289 - Establish conserved buffer and creek rehabilitation zones
290 - Divert flood prone waterways away from sensitive biodiversity breeding areas
291 - Remove the invasive vines that are killing trees and covering the canopy that inhibits water removal/evaporation
292 - Plant trees and flora that have good root systems to control, slow flood damage
293 - Identify and assist regeneration of water intolerant flora and fauna species
294 - Introduce and encourage wet tolerant species for seasonally waterlogged or low-lying areas.
295 - Undertake vegetative propagation to encourage rapid fruiting
296 - Utilize hormones to induce fruiting and flowering out of season
