Profitable Agronomy Practices for 2025: Mitigating Climate Change Impacts in Nigeria a call for notification to NIMET Nigeria.

 The year 2024 was particularly challenging for farmers in Nigeria, with climate change, floods, and other factors affecting agricultural productivity. As agriculture remains a vital sector in Nigeria, accurate weather forecasting is crucial for optimal crop yields and food security. Here are key agronomy practices to consider for a profitable 2025 farming season:


*Key Agronomy Practices for 2025*


1 Crop Selection: Choose crops resilient to climate change and suitable for Nigeria's weather conditions.

2. Soil Management: Implement conservation agriculture practices like mulching and cover cropping to improve soil health and reduce erosion.

3. Irrigation Management: Use precision irrigation techniques to optimize water usage and reduce waste.

4. Integrated Pest Management (IPM): Adopt IPM practices to minimize chemical usage and promote ecosystem balance.

5. Climate-Smart Agriculture: Incorporate climate-resilient agricultural practices like agroforestry and conservation agriculture into farming systems.


The Role of NIMET in Providing Weather Information

The Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NIMET) plays a vital role in providing accurate and timely weather forecasts to support agricultural decision-making. To enhance its support for farmers, NIMET should:

1. Provide Quarterly Weather Forecasts: Issue regular weather forecasts and updates to help farmers plan and prepare for the upcoming season.

2. Disseminate Weather Information: Use various channels like radio, television, and social media to disseminate weather information to farmers and other stakeholders.

3. Develop Mobile Apps: Create mobile apps to provide farmers with easy access to weather forecasts and other relevant agricultural information.

4. Collaborate with Agricultural Extension Services: Work with agricultural extension services to ensure that weather information is integrated into agricultural advisory services.


Benefits of Accurate Weather Forecasting

Accurate weather forecasting can help:

1. Reduce Crop Losses: Enable farmers to take proactive measures to protect their crops from adverse weather conditions.

2. Improve Crop Yields: Help farmers optimize planting, irrigation, and harvesting schedules to improve crop yields.

3. Enhance Food Security: Contribute to increased food availability and reduced food insecurity.

4. Support Sustainable Agriculture: Promote environmentally friendly agricultural practices by reducing the need for chemical inputs and conserving natural resources.

By providing accurate and timely weather forecasts, NIMET can play a vital role in supporting profitable agronomy practices, reducing crop losses, and enhancing food security in Nigeria.
