Abstract on Farmers Adoption of Improved Technology in Cassava Production and Processing in Peri-urban Areas of Edo State: a Case Study of Ikpoba Okha and Ovia North East Local Government Areas
This study was aimed at determining farmer’s adoption of improved technology in cassava production and processing in peri-urban areas of Edo state using Ikpoba Okha and Ovia North East local government areas as case studies. Purposive sampling was used to select 6 wards from which simple random sampling was used to select each of 148 cassava farmers from the 6 wards. The data was analysed using frequency counts, percentages and Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used to test the hypothesis. It was found that majority of the farmers are male (65.54%), married (74.32%) above 41-50 years of age (33.11%); low youth participation (10.81%) in cassava production and processing, having above 6-10 years farming experience (27.70%). The farmers were found to be aware of improved technologies; use of fertilizers had the highest awareness level at 98%, they adopted planting time in April (2.72), Tms 30527 (2.53), Optimum spacing of 1m by 1m (2.53), Tms 4(2)1425 (2.37), Use of herbicides (2.26), use of NPK fertilizer (2.24), Motorised grater (2.08) and their major problems were related to inadequate funds. Membership of cooperatives was found to affect adoption of technology significantly. It was recommended that youths should be encouraged to participate in cassava production by providing them with production inputs, land, credit and encouraging them to join cooperatives to enable them participate fully in cassava production.
