Abstract

Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO, 2017) reported the yield of cowpea, maize, millet and rice in Nigeria for the years 2009, 2010 and 2015. Based on the reports, the conversion factors proposed by Kossila (1983) were used to determine the quantity of crop residues derived nationally from the areas cultivated. It was established that cowpea, maize, millet and rice yielded 6.49, 19.59, 9.68 and 8.64 (million tons) crop residues respectively in Nigeria for the years reported.
