Abstract

This study determined the perception of women farmers on effectiveness of agricultural extension workers on women participations in agricultural practices. Multistage sampling techniques was used to obtained a sample size of 726 respondents which were randomly chosen from the population of 5363 women farmers. Structured questionnaire was used to collect data from the respondents Data collected were analysed using mean, and correlation. Findings indicated that women farmers participate in crop production practices (x=2.50), livestock production practices (x=2.53) and poultry production practices (x=2.77). Meanwhile they do not participate in horticultural production practices (x=2.45) and fish/aquaculture production practices (x=2.17). The findings also indicated that, AEWs were effective in conducting research (x=2.95), farm visit (x=2.97) and meeting (x=2.91) for women farmers. However, they are ineffective in conducting farm lectures (x=2.24) for women farmers in North eastern Nigeria. The study recommended the need of training for AEWs to enhance their effectiveness in organizing and conducting farm lectures for women farmers. AEWs should also ensure transmission of relevant information and knowledge of horticultural and fish production practices among women farmers for increase participation and profit generation.
