Abstract

The study investigated the extension delivery methods practiced in the Adopted Villages of National Agricultural Extension and Research Liaison Services in Kaduna State, Nigeria. Multistage sampling procedures was employed in selecting 260 out of the 7,075 farmers registered in the Adopted villages for the study. Both primary and secondary data were used in the study. Primary data were collected through structured questionnaire while secondary data were obtained from records of NAERLS. Data collected were analysed using frequency counts, percentages and regression. Higher percentage of the respondents were male (57.2 %), married (80.6%) and aged between 31 – 40 years (42%). Farm and home visit was the most preferred extension delivery method by the respondents. Irregular visit by extension agents was the major constraint of extension delivery method. Majority of the respondents (80%) opined that they understood message best when it is face to face and that personal letter was not an appropriate extension method for them. Age, education, household size, farm size, farming experience and land acquisition method had positive coefficients and significant at 5% level of the relationship with preferred extension delivery method. The study recommended that adult education programmes should be promoted in the adopted villages because farmers’ education could enhance agricultural productivity. Also, more extension agents should be employed and sent to the adopted villages to educate farmers on how to improve their productivity.
