However, there are measures that farmers can take to reduce the impacts of drought and increased temperatures!<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The video explains how in the case of this farm located in the Agricultural Experiment Station in Gurabo, cover plants reduce the use of herbicide by 85 percent, and reduces by 70 percent the use of fungicide to control the black sigatoka that It is a fungus that attacks the leaves and reduces the yield of the banana. &#8220;When farmers do soil conservation practices, such as the use of covers, organic matter, recycling of nutrients, compost, what they do is better soil life. And when you improve the life of the soil, little by little you create resilience to climate change, &#8220;explained Dr. Joaquin A. Chong of the University of Puerto Rico who also participates in the video.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<section class='av_toggle_section av-wqhtd1-c39263dcb11d2ff2bb954e9a0dec3c19'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div role=\"tablist\" class=\"single_toggle\" data-tags=\"{All} \"  ><p data-fake-id='#toggle-id-2' class='toggler   '  itemprop=\"headline\"  role='tab' tabindex='0' aria-controls='toggle-id-2'>Transcript<span class=\"toggle_icon\"><span class=\"vert_icon\"><\/span><span class=\"hor_icon\"><\/span><\/span><\/p><div id='toggle-id-2' class='toggle_wrap  '  ><div class='toggle_content invers-color '  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><em>*No transcript presently available.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div  class='hr av-jur8pcwx-c78d9720fe247c23ee83699f2960e3a4 hr-default  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_toggle_container  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-jur8qlgv-8dd6536e74920666f91999a91e767187'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer and lender.
