“…The outcome of numerous empirical researches has documented positive relationship between respondents' use of mobile phones, individual and group extension methods and adoption of groundnut farming practices and this was affirmed by Kante et al (2019) discovered a strong relationship between farmers' usage of' mobile phone farm information and adoption of farm practices. This concurred with Butt et al (2020) found ICTs mobile phone applications have significant relationship with farmers' ability to implement production recommendations. Likewise, Mittal and Hariharan (2018) recognized that mobile-phone enabled agro-advisory services have the potential relationship to influence farmers' improved technology adoption through minimizing information gaps and create awareness about improved technologies.…”

Adoption of recommended farm practices has been acknowledged to attain food security on groundnut production in Nigeria. Extension agents and other technology developers are now often using various channels of communication, as a means of reaching farmers with improved farm practices to ensure compliance. The aim of the paper is to examine the relationship between the use of mobile phones, individual and group extension methods, technology transfer mechanism in the adoption of improved groundnut farming practices, employing cross-sectional survey in four North-western states of Nigeria. A multi-stage sampling procedure was adopted for interviewing three hundred and thirty-nine farmers. Descriptive and correlation analysis were used to analyze the data. The findings shows that farmers’ had moderate usage levels of mobile phones and individual extension methods, and a high level on group extension methods. Mobile phone, individual and group extension methods had significant relationship with adoption at one percent. While, challenges to the use of mobile phones, individual and group extension methods identified to include; low farmers’ literacy, unstable power supply, poor network, low patronage of extension workers, and also knowledge is restricted to members of the group. It was concluded that the use of mobile phone, individual and group extension methods need to be sustained and improved via government and other stakeholders’ provision of extension agents’, training on utilization of extension methods and mobile phones application for effective technology transfer. Development of farmers’ knowledge on appropriate utilization of mobile phone gadgets will assist them to become receptive and embrace the practices promoted.

<p><em>This study aims to examine more deeply about agricultural development. This study uses the systematic literature review method, articles taken from the publications of various publishers using the SCOPUS database and given restrictions on the year of publication only for the last two years or the same as from 2019 to 2021. From the results of this search resulted in 233 views of relevant articles. With this research topic, this figure is obtained from the number of files (.ris) that are exported to Mendeley software. This study explains that agricultural development is currently an integral part of the general public. In agricultural development, it is not only a process or activity of agricultural production but also something that can produce social changes from the scope of values, norms, behavior, institutions, social and so on in order to achieve better economic growth and improve the welfare of farmers and society to become more and more. The limitations of this study are examples of articles presented that differ from the existing conditions in each country so that there is a need for a critical understanding of the government system in the examples of articles that are used as references besides that there needs to be special considerations in determining equations and new findings from articles that are used as reference material to develop the main idea in accordance with the selected topic and title so that the next research needs to understand the main points of the topics that are in accordance with the title and focus on research by adjusting to new things that are to be sought and can be adjusted to the title that is raised.</em></p>
