With the official start of winter and the continuation of unstable weather conditions across different governorates, Al-Falah Al-Youm highlighted the most important current agricultural challenges and practical guidelines for farmers to cope with weather fluctuations and protect crops.
Dr. Mohamed Ali Fahim, Head of the Climate Change Information Center at the Agricultural Research Center, stated that the winter season of 2025/2026 is characterized by significant weather instability, especially during nighttime, which requires early preventive measures to safeguard crops.
He emphasized that these conditions necessitate enhanced winter preparedness in agricultural fields, including proper irrigation management, protecting sensitive crops, and continuous soil monitoring—particularly for crops vulnerable to frost damage.
Closely monitor nighttime temperatures on a daily basis during the coming weeks.
Protect sensitive crops from early frost using suitable coverings or protective measures.
Adjust irrigation schedules to reduce evaporation losses and maintain adequate soil moisture.
The onset of unstable winter weather has a direct impact on crop productivity, especially vegetables and fruit trees. Failure to respond properly may lead to delayed growth or reduced crop quality, making scientific, climate-based agricultural practices essential during this period.
At the beginning of the winter season, the Climate Change Information Center at the Agricultural Research Center urges farmers to exercise caution and implement protective measures against severe nighttime cold, while following modern agricultural guidelines to ensure stable and sustainable productivity.
