Abstract

The study assessed the impact of NERICA 1 rice adoption on farmers’ yield in Gombe State, Nigeria. Multi-stage sampling procedure was used to select two local governments areas, from which 328 farmers were randomly selected as sample size for the study. Data were collected through structured questionnaire and analyzed with percentages and mean. The result revealed that the average farm size was 1.5 for NERICA 1 and 2.1 non-NERICA 1 farmers. The finding showed that only (3%) of the respondents adopted NERICA 1 rice technology. The result showed a difference of 503.3 Kg/ha between the yield of respondents after the comparison and it shows significant impact at 1% probability level. The adoption of NERICA 1 rice has an impact on the yield of respondents. Farmers should be linked with seed companies and research institutes through extension agents to access certified seeds at an affordable price. Keywords: Impact, rice, adoption, yield
采用非洲新水稻1对尼日利亚贡贝州农民产量的影响
该研究评估了尼日利亚贡贝州采用NERICA 1水稻对农民产量的影响。采用多阶段抽样方法,选取两个地方政府辖区,随机抽取328名农户作为研究样本。采用结构化问卷收集数据,采用百分比和平均值进行分析。结果表明,NERICA 1型农户的平均农场规模为1.5个,非NERICA 1型农户的平均农场规模为2.1个。调查结果显示,只有(3%)的答复者采用了NERICA 1水稻技术。结果表明,在1%的概率水平上,被调查对象的产量差异为503.3 Kg/ha,影响显著。采用NERICA 1型水稻对应答者的产量有影响。农民应该通过推广机构与种子公司和研究机构建立联系,以负担得起的价格获得经过认证的种子。关键词:影响,水稻,采收,产量
