In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the corrosion prevention practices applied to agricultural equipment manufactured and used in Nigeria, it is necessary to identify the various corrosion prevention methods and specify the contribution and the efficiency of each method to corrosion protection. This paper outlines the basic corrosion prevention methods used in practice and attempts to evaluate the effectiveness of their use in relation to agricultural service in Nigeria. The results of this study indicated the use of oils, fats, waxes and lubricants on metal parts, spraying with gasoline on corrosion‐sensitive parts constituted the majority of applied corrosion protection in industries where the equipment is manufactured and/or used. The study concluded by giving practical recommendations that are essential for improving corrosion prevention in the Nigerian agricultural industry.
