Conclusion and Policy Implication
The adoption of improved crop production technology is

inluenced by a host of factors such as socio-economic and Govern-
mental. In the study, “Fadama” participant, household size, status of
respondents and primary occupation of the respondent are found to
have statistically signiicant positive impact on the adoption of im-
proved crop production technology.

Adoption of improved technology could have been more suc-
cessful with more pronouncement from different quarters notably
government and non- governmental organizations campaigning to
inluence the individual awareness about improved technology in
agriculture. Resource endowment is also an important concern and
policy makers should emphasise on extending institutional support
to the farmers in the form of inancial help, technical knowhow re-
lated to other methods of cultivation generally.
