| Abstract: | Precipitation effectiveness of onset (o) and cessation © date of rains length of the seasonal and intra-seasonal distribution of rainfall for Katcha L.G.A of Niger state of Nigeria are analyzed for improved crop production. Result revealed that the onset of rain is between March 25th and May 15th whereas cessation date range from October 13th to November 12th. Length of rainfall shows that rainy season ranges from 180 – 200 days.
