Adaptation Actions

1 - 20 of 22
12 - Plant gardens within forest wind breaks, or plant windbreaks to protect sensitive crops (glyricidia)
13 - Avoidance of agricultural activities in the immediate coastal strip
14 - Plant leafy crops in gardens that are well sheltered from winds (e.g. valleys etc)
15 - Plant root crops in exposed areas
16 - Cut the leaves of bananas prior to a cyclone to prevent uprooting
17 - Cut the stems of manioc prior to a cyclone to prevent uprooting
18 - Introduce Dwarf Varieties of manioc that will be less susceptible to wind damage
19 - Remove yam stakes during pre cyclone preparations
20 - Utilize early harvest varieties of yam (6 months) that can be harvested before cyclone season
147 - Undertake artificial germination of important species (nursery)
148 - Collect and store wildings for replanting
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
297 - Store seeds for use during low fruiting periods.
298 - Assess the fruiting calendars of different species in different climatic areas
299 - Protect of trees from rainfall/elements in green houses
300 - Practice anthropogenic fertilization (by hand) in cases where Rainfallinhibits natural pollination and fertilization
301 - Identify, select and plant varieties that fruit/flower at different times throughout the year.
302 - Develop, dessiminate, breed and encourage the use of rain-tolerate tree varieties
