20.500.12556/RUL-177203 Assessing the impact of climate change on groundnut production in Nigeria Ocena uničujočega vpliva podnebnih sprememb na proizvodnjo arašidov v Nigeriji The study assessed the impact of climate change on groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) production in Ebonyi State, Nigeria. A total of 351 groundnut farmers were purposively selected for the study. Primary data were obtained through structured questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics, multiple regression analysis, and a beta regression model. Climate change had significant adverse effects on groundnut production, including stunted plant growth (P < 0.01), increased pest and disease outbreaks (P < 0.01), and reduced land productivity (P < 0.05). The predominant adaptation strategies employed by farmers were use of improved groundnut varieties (100%), mixed cropping (85.8%), and livelihood diversification (99.1%). Factors significantly influencing adaptation capacity were age (P < 0.01), education (P < 0.01), household size (P < 0.05), and access to capital (P < 0.01). Major constraints to adaptation included inadequate capital (99.7%), distant farmlands (77.2%), and high labor cost (90.8%). The study concludes that climate change poses serious threats to groundnut production and rural livelihoods in Ebonyi State. It recommends increased investment in climate policy financing, establishment of localized climate information centers, and the promotion of climate-smart agricultural practices to strengthen farmers’ resilience and minimize climate-induced losses. climate change impacts groundnut production adaptation strategies podnebne spremembe vplivi pridelava arašidov gospodinjstva true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-12-17 12:45:10 2025-12-17 12:45:16 2025-12-28 04:16:50 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 13 str. no. 4 Vol. 121 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 63 1854-1941 10.14720/aas.2025.121.4.22984 261861891 Osuji+et+al.+(K).pdf Osuji+et+al.+(K).pdf 1 7C6B29E677B6AD2FC12CEFAE04711E40 6521765bcbbd13c8ad39611439ad6fe5ad7a53fe85f37d2707c2d905a2ad67e0 9cc21f43-db3d-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=224115 https://journals.uni-lj.si/aas/article/view/22984/19894 1 6a81d2b0-db3d-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=224112 Biotehniška fakulteta Acta agriculturae Slovenica 0 0 0
