ABSTRACT
This study focused on analysis of the adoption of recommended soybean production practices in Zaria Local Government Area of Kaduna State, Nigeria. Primary data were collected from 165 respondents using structured questionnaire. The statistical tools used to analyze the data were descriptive statistics and regression analysis. The result of the analysis shows that 44% of the respondents with were within the age range of 31-50 years, with a mean age of 40 years, 67% of the respondents had household size ranging from 1-10 people, with an average of 10 persons. Majority ( 99%) of the farmers were literate. About 86% of the farmers do not have access to credit and therefore financing their production through personal savings. Also, 72% of the farmers do not belong to any cooperative association while majority (79%) of the farmers had no access to extension visit. The result of this study also shows that cumulative contributions of independent variables to the adoption of recommended soybean production practices had coefficient of determination (R2 Adjusted) value of 0.68. This implies that all the variables together, explained 68 percent of the total variability in adoption of recommended soybean production practices in the study area. Meaning that farmers has 32% shortfall from total adoption of soybean production practices due to some factors outside their control (intervening variable) such as rainfall, temperature, humidity etc. The relationship between selected socioeconomic and institutional factors influencing adoption of recommended soybean production practices show that out of eight variables included in the model, six had significant influence on adoption of technologies. These were age, sex, education, farming experience, membership of cooperatives and extension contact. The effect of adoption of recommended soybean production practices on yield showed that planting date, spacing, fertilizer application, use of resistant variety and storage had significant influence at 10%, 10%, 10%, 5% and 1% respectively. While planting date, number of seed per hole, use of resistant variety and fertilizer application had significant influence at 5%, 1%, 1% and 1% respectively on farmersÒ€Ÿ income. The most important constraints faced by farmers to the adoption of recommended soybean production practices identified in the study area were high cost of the technology (59.4%), Insufficient credit facilities (30.9%), Inadequate awareness (13.9%) and complexity of the technology (12.7%). Based on the finding of this study, it could be concluded that adoption level of soybean production practices is on average having six out of thirteen technological practices being highly adopted by soybean farmers in the study area. It is recommended that the local government and non-governmental organizations dealing with extension agents should therefore embark more on the facilitation techniques of extension delivery. This will enable the farmers to identify their problems, determine their needs, and discover their potential themselves rather than always being fed with information.
