Abstract

This study was carried out to examine the adoption of Oba 98 maize production technologies  by farmers in Delta State. Specifically, the study ascertained major sources of information on Oba 98 maize production technologies.

Determined the extent of adoption of Oba 98 maize production technologies; determined factors influencing the adoption of Oba 98 maize pro- duction technologies; and identified perceived constraints to adoption of Oba 98 maize pro- duction technologies.

The study was carried out in Delta State. Multistage  sampling  tech- nique was used to select the sample size for the study. In the first stage, six (6) LGAs were purposively selected out of 25 LGAs based on their popularity on maize  farming.

In  the second stage two (2) towns farming communities that are popular in maize production were randomly selected from the six (6) LGAs giving a total of twelve (12) town farming com- munities.

Introduction

Maize (Zea mays L.) is the most important  cereal crop  in  sub-Saharan Africa.  Maize is also one of the three most important cereal crops in the world (International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, 2006).

Maize is easy to process, readily digested  and  an  affordable cereal. (Ismaila, Gana, Tswanya & Dogara, 2010; Kudi, Bolaji, Akinola & Nasa’l, 2011). International Institute for Tropical Agriculture, (IITA) (2006) asserted that  every  part  of  maize plant has economic value.

The grains, leaves, stalk, tassel and cob can be used  to produce large varieties of food and non-food products. Also, maize is one of  the  most important crops in Nigeria because it  is a major source of  dietary fiber and  calories which are a good source of energy and it is used industrially for production of food, beverage, and livestock feed.

Maize grains are rich in vitamins A, C and E, carbohydrates, and essential minerals, and contain about 9% protein (IITA, 2010). F

ood and Agriculture Organization (2011) estimated that the land area planted with maize in West and Central Africa alone increased from 3.2  million hectares in 1961 to 10.5 million hectares in 2010.
