How the Seed Advisor ranks varieties

Zone climate, resilience traits, and transparent reasoning: the same three pillars as the rest of CropX.

Zone first matching

Your state maps to one of six agro-ecological zones with rainfall and season length, so recommendations start from the climate you actually farm in.

Benefit: Location becomes a climate fact, not a guess

Drought and heat aware ranking

Released varieties are scored on drought tolerance, heat tolerance, season fit, and yield potential, weighted by how much each matters locally.

Benefit: Resilience weighted where it counts most

Reasoning on every match

Every shortlist entry explains why it ranked where it did, including risks such as a maturity window that may outlast the rains.

Benefit: No black box planting advice

Describe your farm

1. Location

2. Soil

3. Crop

4. Area

Not sure? Wet a handful and squeeze it: gritty and crumbly is sandy, sticky and smearing is clay.

Your recommendations will appear here

Fill in where the farm is, what the soil is like, and what you plan to plant. Each suggestion comes with the reasoning behind it, including the arguments against.

The six zones behind every recommendation

Nigeria runs from near desert in the far north to humid forest on the coast. Matching variety to zone is how seed choice protects yield and food security when the rains are unreliable.
