Dr Filippo Bassi, the International Center for the Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas, ICARDA’s award-winning senior scientist, has urged Nigeria to determine the best wheat seed variety for every region in the country.
Speaking at the Olam Green Land’s webinar, titled “Deepening the wheat farming development programme in Nigeria through innovation, increasing investments, and collaborations,” Bassi said the country also need to put into consideration factors like seed maturity, yield, irrigation, and milling quality level for an optimum wheat supply nationally.
