 “People were advised to drain out the water from their fields in order to increase the aeration which would help control the problem of burning tip which is purely a physiological disorder,” it said.
 Other areas of Block Lar were also visited and farmers were advised to clear their bunds from grass which later on acts as an alternate host for various diseases including the Paddy Blast.
