ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMS OF LYCOPERSICONESCULENTUM PRODUCTION IN IRRIGABLE AREAS OF FUNTUA, KATSINA STATE NIGERIA
Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Agro-food industries developments are the main agendas of Africa’s move to encourage food production in her states. Because rains are sporadic in these tropical regions of Africa, foods are produced even under irrigation scheme, in order to meet up for the gap. Southern Katsina state has a potential land for irrigation which is also highly fertile. For years, garden vegetables such as tomatoes, onions and peppers are produced and marketed in large quantities. Nigeria is perhaps the best producer of tomatoes throughout the tropical regions. This paper examines the environmental problems that constraints its production, alongside with the highlights of manageable ways to improve its way of production.
