ABSTRACT Higher temperature and declining rainfall patterns as well as an increasing frequency of extreme climate events (such as droughts and flood) are the expected future climate in the tropics (Mitchell and Tamnner, 2006). In dry areas, moisture is a most limiting factor for crop production and it contribute to insecure household food security in these area rainfalls is less than the potential moisture looses through evaporation and transpiration. Climate is the long- term effect of the sun's radiation on the rotating earth's varied surface and atmosphere. It can be understood most easily in terms of annual or seasonal averages of temperature and precipitation. As the world becomes more aware and concerned about climate change, the agricultural implement manufacturers who wants to transform citizen into customers have become concerned as well. The general objective of this research work is to study effect of climate changes on the usage of tillage implement in Nigeria. The specific objectives of this research work include to; identify the major pattern with effect of sunshine intensity on mechanized tillage equipment and make recommendation based on the findings. The level, appropriate choice and subsequent proper use of mechanized inputs into agriculture has a direct and significant effect on achievable levels of land productivity, labor productivity, the profitability of farming, the sustainability, the environment and, on the quality of life of people engaged in agriculture. Primary data were collected through interview and questionnaire approach, while secondary data are from journals, bulletins, and internet were employed in the study, where 120 respondents were involved in this findings. In order to allow intensity of perception as expressed by respondent participation, 4- point scale was used in the questionnaire design. This aspect of the research work explores deeply the socio-economic characteristic of the respondent [independent variables] on the perception of respondentsȃ on effect of climate change on tillage implement [dependent variable]. The relationship was tested using multiple regression analysis, further analysis were carried out with the help of chi-square to buttress our result. The end result shows that corrosion and implement damage or breakdown are major effect of climate on tillage implement as they are significant at 1.2% and 1.5% respectively . It is also concluded that information dissemination for farmers should be through radio, television, extension workers, and printed materials. Statistical result indicated that there is a great need for government intervention encouraging individual and technocrat to develop renewable energy, in order to solve the aforementioned problem caused by climate change on tillage implement, which invariably affect agricultural production and food security of the nation negatively.
