GEOSPATIAL TREND ANALYSIS OF RAIN-FED AND IRRIGATION PRACTICES FOR CROPS YIELD IMPROVEMENT IN KURA AND MINJIBIR, KANO STATE, NIGERIAhttps://keffi.nsuk.edu.ng/handle/20.500.14448/4607One of the advancements in Agriculture in recent time is the boost of crop yield to increase the number of output and feed the growing Nigerian population. The higher the output the less cost of food items and the more the food security. Kano State is one of the focal point not only on rain fed Agriculture alone but in irrigation farming. Irrigation was adopted coupled with soil fertility, most major crops such as Sorghum Bicolor, Maize, Millet, Beans and Groundnuts are typically grown during rainy season, while market garden crops such as Tomatoes, Pepper, Onion and Rice are now cultivated during the dry period in large hectares of land. This study focuses on different crops yield and its spatial distribution; to calculate the total crop yield per hectare and ascertain the duration of bumper harvest using trend analysis and normal probability. The result indicated more turn-out of farmers with double output of both rain fed and irrigation crops from 2019 and 2020 in two major local government area of Kano State Nigeria.enTrend Analysis, Crop yield, Geospatial, Agriculture, GeospatialGEOSPATIAL TREND ANALYSIS OF RAIN-FED AND IRRIGATION PRACTICES FOR CROPS YIELD IMPROVEMENT IN KURA AND MINJIBIR, KANO STATE, NIGERIAArticle
