Institute advises North West farmers on strategies for 2024 rainy season

The Institute for Agricultural Research, Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, has advised farmers in North West to plant early maturing seed varieties in compliance with the NIMET predictions for the 2024 rainy season. Prof. Ado Yusuf, Executive Director of the Institute, gave the advice while interacting with newsmen on Monday in Zaria.

“Farmers should delay a little before they commence planting until it is well established to avoid replanting; it was also predicted that there will be early cessation of rainfall in so many places. “In some places, the last rain may come around the first or second week of October, which means the length of the rainy season is short, so farmers should go for short duration crops,’’ he said.
