dc.description.abstractLocal production is yet to match the growing domestic demand for rice in Nigeria and this has continued to form the basis for improved technology innovation to promote crop productivity. The study assessed the adoption of improved rice production technologies among rice farmers in Nasarawa State. A two-stage sampling technique was employed to collect data from 160 respondents from the list of registered farmers under the Bukan-Sidi Lafia Rice Innovation Platform of the Nasarawa/Benue hub. The study specifically: examined determinants of the level of adoption of improved rice production technologies and determined the effects of adopting improved rice production technologies on rice productivity. T-test and Logit Regression Model were used as the analytical tools. The results show that educational level, household size, off-farm income, number of extension contacts and farm size were statistically significant at 10%, 5%, and 1%, respectively. Also, the full adoption of improved rice production technologies significantly increased rice productivity. The study recommends that rice farmers be encouraged through intervening measures such as subsidies to fully adopt the improved rice production technologies to help improve rice productivity.en_US
