Di Agricultural Research Council of Nigeria, ARCN, don hail two new books wey focus on how farmers, students and agricultural workers fit identify, understand and control diseases and pests wey dey attack crops for Nigeria.
ARCN Executive Secretary, Dr Adamu Abubakar Dabban, give di commendations for di public launching of di two books for Haske Luxury, Governor’s Hall, Minna, Niger State.
Dr Saidu Adamu Paiko na di person wey write di two books. Di first one na Applied Plant Pathology and Crop Disease Management in Nigeria: A Practical Manual for Students in Agriculture, while di second one na Major Crop Pests of Nigeria: Identification, Biology and Integrated Management.
Di books dey look at two beta wahala wey farmers dey face: diseases wey dey affect crops and pests wey dey destroy plants, fruits, seeds and oda farm products. According to ARCN boss, beta way to identify and manage these problems fit help farmers improve crop yield, protect di money wey dem put inside farming and support food supply for Nigeria.
Dabban dey tell students, researchers, agricultural extension workers, farmers and oda pipo wey dey work for agriculture make dem use di books as learning and research materials. He con talk say practical knowledge about crop protection need to reach pipo wey dey work directly for farm.
Di matter no small because crop pests and diseases fit dey comot for farm output and e go bring beta financial loss if farmers no detect or control dem early. Research wey Agricultural Research Council of Nigeria publish before don show say different crops for Nigeria dey face pest and disease challenges, including problems affecting maize, rice, sorghum and oda beta food crops.
ARCN itself dey coordinate agricultural research activities and support research institutions wey dey work on crop production, plant protection and oda areas of agriculture. Di council too dey publish research papers, reports and oda agricultural materials wey go help researchers, farmers and policymakers get useful knowledge.
For Africa, proper management of crop diseases and pests remain important because farmers need to protect both food production and dia income. Agricultural experts dey commonly promote methods wey combine prevention, early identification, good farm practices and suitable control measures instead of depending on one method alone. Research materials on crop protection for Africa also explain how farmers fit combine different methods to manage pests and diseases.
Di two new books therefore dey add to di growing body of agricultural knowledge wey researchers and practitioners fit use to understand crop problems and improve farm management for Nigeria.
Dabban congratulate Paiko for di publication and describe di books as useful contribution to agricultural knowledge, research and crop protection for di kontri.
ARCN don hail two new books wey focus on crop diseases and pests, as di council call for better agricultural knowledge to help farmers improve production and protect food supply.
