Current Rice Management Practices in Nigeria, Field-Level Data

Ali, Ibrahim from Sustainable Productivity Enhancement provides a field-level record of rice management practices used by farmers in Nigeria. The dataset documents the entire production cycle from land preparation to harvest, including details on tillage, seed sources, fertilizer applications, and pest control. It was last updated on 2026-07-21.

Use Cases

• Yield-gap analysis based on documented crop establishment methods and fertilizer timing
• Nutrient-use efficiency assessment based on recorded quantities of nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorus applied
• Sustainability impact modeling based on data on organic inputs and pesticide use
• Analysis of farmer adoption of recommended practices based on adherence to optimum sowing windows

Strengths

• Covers the entire rice production cycle from land preparation to harvest
• Documents specific nutrient inputs including quantities of nitrogen (N), potassium (K₂O), and phosphorus (P₂O₅)
• Includes precise timing data for fertilizer operations and crop duration

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Freshness should be verified as the last update date is in the future (2026-07-21)
