A Bauchi-based agronomist, Nuru Masa, has advised farmers to adhere to the forecasts and predictions by the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet) to guide their decisions on crop varieties.

He also advised them to adopt good agricultural practices to maximize yields and ensure food security.

Masa said this in an interview with Journalists on Tuesday, December 31, 2024, in Bauchi, the Bauchi State capital.

According to him, climate unpredictability such as erratic rainfall patterns significantly impacts farming, adding that farmers need to consider early, medium and late maturing crop varieties based on recommendations by the agency.

He underscored the importance of comprehensive planning and proper farm management, as farmers transitioned from wet to dry season activities, stressing that successful crop production involved critical steps, including site selection, land preparation, pest and disease management, irrigation and timely harvesting.

“For instance, the type of ridges during the dry season differ from those required for wet season farming.

“Providing the right conditions for seedlings such as adequate water, nutrients, pest and disease control vital for crop establishment.

“Understanding crop maturity and harvesting at the appropriate time is essential in ensuring optimal quality and yields. Visual signs of maturity such as the greening of crops do not always indicate physiological readiness for the harvest,” he said.

The expert identified climate, soil fertility and moisture as critical determinants that influence crop production, and urged farmers to ensure soil suitability for the crops and fertilizers as well as adequate water supply and proper farm management practices.

While advising farmers to utilize extension services, Masa urged them to adopt preventive measures against pests and diseases, as well as improve their enterprising skills.
