Large scale irrigation potential has been developed in the past two decades in Sahel and Sudan Savanna zone of West Africa. The total irrigated area is likely to exceed 2m ha. In view of the high cost involved and to make the most efficient use of irrigation water, crop choice, time of growth and climate should be closely matched for optimum crop productivity. Results showed that the crop intensity can be increased from less than 75% in rainfed to 300% in irrigated farming. This paper suggests an irrigated cropping pattern based on the on-station research in the Sahel and Savanna zone of West Africa with special reference to Nigeria.
