Preventive Steps Taken to Cope with Natural Disasters
Pyongyang, August 25 (KCNA) -- Rural areas in Kaesong Municipality of the DPRK concentrate all efforts on the manuring and cultivation of crops while taking preventive measures to cope with natural disasters.

The agricultural guidance organs at all levels have scrupulously planned and assigned tasks to minimize the damage by heavy rains and floods and promote the growth of crops.

Officials checked major reservoirs, small and medium rivers, sea dikes and other things to find out all the defective elements and take necessary steps.

On the basis of detailed survey of farm fields with risk factors, the farms have always maintained readiness for operating drainage facilities at full capacity while repairing the waterways in a qualitative way.

They are spraying nutrient solution, photosynthetic accelerant and growth promoters in time.

Efforts are also directed to reducing damage by harmful insects and preventing decrease in the crop yield.
