ABSTRACT

Arable crop production is very important in the economics of tropical developing countries especially Nigeria and provides the means for increased food and fiber production. Agriculture has played a leading role in people's lives in tropical countries where at least 75 percent of the total labour force is engaged in Agriculture. Crop production is highly-competitive and dominated by small scale producers. According to (Ezeh and Arene, 1989) small-scaie production does not impede technological innovation to farmers. Rather it has a positive impact on the rate of technological innovation. Awoke (1998) observed that in West Africa — for instance, the peasant farmers with their small farm holdings produce most of the arable crops like cassava, yarn, cocoyam, rice, maize, sorghum, vegetables and other foodstuffs consumed by people. A research carried out by IITA (1997) stated that arabic crops are the commonest staples in the tropics. They are starchy root crops and provide additional proteins and vitamins in the diet and contribute to improved human nutrition! The arable crops are native to the tropics and have long been contributed there by indigenous population in many parts of the country (IlTA, 1997).
