The weather pattern in Nigeria, particularly in our location, is characterized by a nine-month seasonal rainfall period from March to October, followed by an extended dry season. The growth of trees and crops is heavily reliant on rainfall, making them susceptible to drought during the dry season. This often results in stunted growth and even death of young trees. However, irrigating these trees during the dry season would require a substantial amount of water and high-cost capital, making it a challenging and costly task.
