Abstract A semi-detailed survey was conducted to evaluate the soils of an agricultural landscape in Challawa – Gorge micro watershed in Karaye Local Government Area of Kano State. Three soil mapping units A, B and C were identified on the basis of land forms and surface texture. The soils were classified into Typic Endoaqualfs and Plinthic Kanhaplustalfs (USDA) and Stagnic Gleysols and Plinthic Acrisols (Eutric) world reference base soil resource. The upper slope was classified into soil unit C, middle slope as soil unit B and lower slope as soil unit A. Keywords: Land, Suitability, Capability; Fertility, Classification, Evaluation. Introduction There is an increasing demand for work is carried out on soil information on soils as a means to characterization. This provides the produce food (Fasina et al 2007). basic information necessary to create Agriculture is the predominant functional soil classification schemes, economic activity in Nigeria and and assess soil fertility in order to because of agricultural development unravel some unique soil problems in and increasing demand for an ecosystem (Lekwa et al., 2004). experimental data in Nigeria, much Soil classification deals with the 227 [email protected] 2020 systematic categorization based on distinguishing characteristics as well as criteria that dictate choices in use.

CABI Agric Biosci (2021) 2:25 https://doi.org/10.1186/s43170-021-00046-7 CABI Agriculture and Bioscience RESEARCH Open Access Appraisal of cowpea cropping systems and farmers’ perceptions of production constraints and preferences in the dry savannah areas of Nigeria Saba Baba Mohammed1,2, Daniel Kwadjo Dzidzienyo2* , Muhammad Lawan Umar1, Mohammad Faguji Ishiyaku1, Pangirayi Bernard Tongoona2 and Vernon Gracen2,3 Abstract Background: Low plant density and wide intra-plant spacing in traditional cowpea cropping systems are among the factors responsible for low yield on farmers’ felds. Sole cropping and improved intercropping systems have been advocated in the last few years to increase yield in the dry savannah areas of Nigeria. This study investigated the level of adoption of high yielding cowpea cropping systems including factors that infuenced their use and farmers’ perceived production constraints and preferences. A total of 420 farmers across 36 villages of northern Nigeria were interviewed, and data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics to appraise farmers predominant cowpea cropping systems and factors that determine the use of sole versus intercropping were identifed with the aid of binary logit regression. Furthermore, pairwise comparison ranking was deployed to understand farmers’ view of cow- pea production constraints and preferred traits. Results: The results revealed that, many of the farmers (42%) still grow cowpeas in the traditional intercropping and a good number (25%) cultivate the crop as a sole crop, while 23% had felds of cowpeas in both sole and intercropping systems. Farmers reported the incidence of high insect pests, limited access to land, desire to have multiple benefts, and assurance in the event of crop failure as reasons for preference for intercropping over sole planting.

    Introducing the Immunity Boosting Sweet Potato to Kano State Nigeria is one of the countries with the highest risk of Vitamin A Deficiency (VAD). It is also particularly challenging to reach the most vulnerable children in rural, hard to reach communities as these communities are often missed during Vitamin A supplementation programs. As such, only two in five children receive adequate levels of supplementation, leaving a higher percentage of children at risk of Vitamin A Deficiency (VAD). National surveys show that Kano state has one of the lowest vitamin A uptake levels. eHealth Africa received funding from the German Cooperation (GIZ) to implement a pilot project with the goal of supplementing vitamin A uptake and Pictures from the hands-on training and cooking demon- diversifying the diets of GIZ farmers in Kano state stration. through the introduction of Orange- Fleshed Sweet Potato (OFSP).

The State has 44local govemment areas out of which 18 are Meso endemic with few hyper-endemic foci. The State falls in the Sudan Savannah and Sahel zones. Howeyer, the endemic areas are generally located in the Sudan savannah. The Ivermectin Distribution Programme (IDP) is in the 7th treatment round in some of the LGAs while in the 6th treatment round in others. However, CDTI strategy started in 1999. The CDTI project is therefore implemented in 779 communities of the 18 APOC approved local governments. Mobilization of the community members was conducted in all the targeted communities. In addition to mobilization, the state officials conducted advocacy visits to all the endemic local government Areas. The Launching of the commencement of 2002 prograrnme, which was performed by His Excellency, the Deputy Governor of Kano State increased awareness and acceptance of Mectizan by the people in the State. Electronic media, town criers and CDDs were among the mobilization strategies adopted for community mobilization. Targeted Training and re-training of CDTI programme personnel was conducted at state, LGA, and community levels, for those that are new in the programme as well as those with training dfficulties.

  • Analysis of Spatial Variation in Agricultural Development Programmes in Kano State, Nigeria
    ISSN (Print): 2476-8316 ISSN (Online): 2635-3490 Dutse Journal of Pure and Applied Sciences (DUJOPAS), Vol. 4 No. 2 December 2018 Analysis of Spatial Variation in Agricultural Development Programmes In Kano State, Nigeria Abdulkadir, H¹*; Adefila, J. O²; & Yusuf, R. O.2 ¹Department of Geography, Saadatu Rimi College of Education, Kano State, Nigeria. [email protected] 2 Department of Geography and Environmental Management, Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, Nigeria Abstract Agriculture is an important sector in the economic development and poverty alleviation drive of many countries. The importance of this sector is more pronounced in developing countries such as Nigeria. The persistent failure of agricultural development programmes in Nigeria has demonstrated the weakness of the policies coupled with inability of the successive administrations to resolve the fundamental problems of development. The major goal of this study is to analyse spatial variation in agricultural development programmes in Kano State. Questionnaire survey and documented materials constituted major sources of data. Twelve Local Government Areas were purposely selected across the three Senatorial districts. A total of 384 respondents were randomly selected in the administration of the questionnaire. Descriptive statistics was used to summarize the data. Also, inferential statistics such as the location quotient (LQ) was employed to measure level of variations in agricultural development programmes. The location quotient result is categorized into upper, middle and bottom based on the performance of each Local Government Area in agricultural development programmes The upper group include Tofa(0.80), Madobi(1.10), Warawa(1.20) and Kura (1.30) While the middle group include Gwarzo(1.34), Gaya (1.39), Danbatta(1.40) and Tsanyawa(1.45).
