ABSTRACT:
Annual climatic data (Federal Republic of Nigeria) would suggest that southeastern Nigeria should present few weather difficulties for intensive cropping. This paper is based on a cropping systems survey (Nweke and Winch, 1980) of two villages in Anambra State, which reveals that month by month distributions of rainfall, solar radiation and relative humidity, and deviations from the normal distribution of rainfall, constitute a constraint on the expansion of agricultural production in the area, and hence that supplementary aids to rectify such weather deficiencies are necessary in order to expand crop production.
