During the rainy season, farmers should focus on crops that thrive with adequate moisture and benefit from the natural irrigation.
Below are key crops to prioritize:
*Rainy Season-Friendly Crops:*
1. *Maize (Corn)* – Fast-growing and loves moisture.
2. *Rice* – Ideal for areas with heavy rainfall or wetlands.
3. *Sorghum & Millet* – Drought-tolerant but also do well with moderate rains.
4. *Cassava* – Root crop that establishes well with early rains.
5. *Yam* – Requires well-drained mounds and plenty of rainfall.
6. *Groundnut (Peanut)* – Grows well with early to mid-rainfall.
7. *Soybeans* – Great for rotation and does well in moist conditions.
8. *Vegetables*:
- Okra
- Ugu (fluted pumpkin)
- Amaranth
- Cucumber
- Waterleaf
9. *Cowpea (Beans)* – Prefers lighter rainfall; plant towards end of season.
10. *Plantain/Banana* – Thrive with steady moisture and humidity.
*Tip:* Always consider your soil type and rainfall pattern. Start with crops early in the season that need more time to mature, and transition to short-cycle ones as rains taper off.
