flag A cold wave in Bangladesh threatens winter crops, especially potatoes, due to disease risks from prolonged cool, damp weather.

flag A cold wave across 17 districts in Bangladesh has raised agricultural concerns, particularly for winter crops like potatoes, onions, tomatoes, and rice seedlings, due to prolonged cool, damp conditions increasing disease risks such as late blight, powdery mildew, and tipburn. flag Experts warn that temperatures below 13°C and high humidity favor disease spread, with potatoes most vulnerable. flag Farmers are advised to apply fungicides every seven days and monitor nighttime temperatures. flag While rice seedlings in seedbeds remain largely unaffected due to dormancy, prolonged cold could delay growth. flag No significant yield losses have been reported so far, but risks rise if conditions persist or crops are transplanted.
