Transition Rainfall: NiMet Advises Northern Farmers To Restrain From Planting

Transition Rainfall, NiMet Advises Northern Farmers To Restrain From Planting. The Nigerian Meteorological Agency has advised farmers in the North to restrain from planting crops due to the current heavy rainfalls across the region.

Dr Mansur Matazu, the Technical Assistant to NiMet’s Director-General/CEO, Prof. Sani Mashi, gave the advice in Abuja on Friday, the News Agency of Nigeria reported.

Matazu said the current rainfalls being experienced across the region were known as “transition period activities” leading to the onset of the planting season.

He said, “The rains we are experiencing now are what we describe as transition period activities, between the dry and rainy seasons.

“This transition period is associated with some occasional rains and these rains are meant for farmers to get prepared in terms of their planting activities; that is, getting the land cleared and getting the inputs such as seeds and fertiliser ready.

“It is not advisable, especially in the northern parts of the country, to start planting now.”

Matazu also advised state governments and the peop  le of the southern part of the c ountry to install measures to prevent flooding associated with early intense rains across the region.

“This is why we are advising people to use our forecast, in addition to the flood outlook issued by the Nigeria Hydrological Services Agency, so that they could guard against damage by flooding,” he said.
