“…Thus, the marginal and elasticity implications of a unit increase in the use of herbicides by 1 litre would increase output level by 115.95kg and 0.091% respectively. This agrees with the findings of Bathon et al (2016) and Thulasiram et al (2018) who in their various research reported a direct relation between biocides and groundnut output level. The negative significance of the fertilizer coefficient revealed an over-dosage in the application of the agro-chemical.…”

“…Therefore, the marginal and elasticity implications of a unit increase in the farm size by 1 hectare would increase output by 222.78kg and 0.328% respectively. This conforms with the findings of Bathon et al (2016) and Audu et al (2017). The positive significant of the herbicides coefficient signified the appropriate dosage application of the agrochemical, thus exerting a positive influence on the output level of groundnut in the studied area.…”

The present research empirically determined farm resource-input utilization among the groundnut farmers and the effect of agricultural policy on groundnut production in Niger State of Nigeria. A total of 120 farmers were selected through a multi-stage sampling technique. Thereafter, a structured questionnaire complemented with the interview schedule was the instruments used to elicit information from the respondents and the collected data were analyzed using inferential statistics and the policy analysis matrix (PAM). The empirical findings showed that groundnut production is affected by the failure of the farmers to apply the recommended inorganic fertilizer dosages. In addition, the farmers were not economically efficient as allocation of the farm inputs were not optimized. The farm size, seed, manure, biocides and depreciation on capital had an index of greater than 1.00 while NPK and human labour AEI index were less than 1.00. Furthermore, the agricultural policy was not in favour of the farmers despite the effort in deregulating the agricultural marketing sub-sector. Therefore, the study recommends that the extension agents should re-train the farmers on the appropriate technologies needed in the application of recommended dosage for agro-chemical, especially inorganic fertilizer. In addition, the government should improvise a protectionist policy for the producers so that they can compete favourable and earn remunerative prices in the agricultural commodity markets.

The study analyzed the input-output relationship of crop enterprises in response to different climate change adaptation options among farmers in Borno State, Nigeria. The research was conducted in two agroecological zones (AEZ) within the state, employing a multi-stage sampling procedure to select 360 farmers for the study. Data analysis involved the use of means, frequencies, and multiple regression techniques. The results regarding adaptation practices in the respective AEZs revealed that in the Sudan AEZ, farmers primarily employed strategies such as multiple cropping (98.9%), early planting (63.9%), mulching/use of cover crops (36.1%), and increased fertilizer application (25.00%). In the Guinea AEZ, the most widely used adaptation strategies included multiple cropping (93.30%), utilization of new crop varieties tolerant to the evolving climate (72.20%), increased fertilizer application (47.20%), and the use of herbicides (25.00%). The production function analysis results demonstrated that approximately 85, 51, 53, 57, 81 and 65% of the variations in yields resulting from climate change adaptation strategies, such as the application of herbicides, utilization of organic manure, early planting, increased fertilizer application, mulching, and the use of cover crops, as well as the use of improved crop varieties tolerant to the new climate regime, were accounted for by the inputs. Furthermore, the coefficients of production inputs were significant and positively correlated with crop yields across different adaptation strategies and at various levels. In conclusion, the study found that farmers primarily employed technically-based adaptation strategies, and production inputs played a crucial role in determining crop yields across various adaptation approaches. It is recommended, among other measures, that adaptation materials be provided to farmers at a subsidized rate.
