| Besides regular watering, many households in Quynh Van commune install shade nets for their vegetables. This method of heat protection minimizes sunlight from wilting vegetables and retains moisture in the soil. Photo: Viet Hung |

| Before planting vegetables, some people clear the land and pump water into it to create high humidity before sowing the seeds. Photo: Viet Hung |

| Quynh Luu district has approximately 900 hectares of vegetable crops, concentrated in the coastal communes. In hot weather conditions, the District Department of Agriculture and Rural Development directs communes to regularly educate farmers on caring for their crops. Hot weather often causes specific fungal diseases such as anthracnose, root rot, wilting, and stem cracking with sap exudation; farmers need to take timely care and prevent these diseases.
