The production of the underutilised legumes in Nigeria is at a very low ebb, attempt to increase its production requires adoption of improved technologies on the crops. Hence, Information channels for technology adoption among farmers who cultivate underutilised legumes in Oke-Ogun area of Oyo State was therefore investigated. A multi-stage sampling procedure was used and 75 respondents were selected through snowball technique. Results indicate that 49.3% of farmers were above 50 years, majority were male (81.3%),married (76.0%) and educated (67.6%). Majority of the respondents had high access to radio (\(\bar{x}\) =1.81) and farmers’ association (\(\bar{x}\) =1.41) for information on underutilized legumes and preferred radio (\(\bar{x}\) =0.93) and extension agents (\(\bar{x}\) =0.92) as major sources of information dissemination. Poor seed viability (\(\bar{x}\) =1.78 ) and poor yield (\(\bar{x}\) =1.77 ) were the major constraints limiting production of underutilised legumes in the study area. There was significant relationship in the respondents’ educational status (χ2 =10.363; p=0.016) and information channels for technology adoption among farmers who cultivate underutilised legumes. It is recommended that research institutes should carry out studies with a view to generate technologies that would alleviate constraints faced by farmers in the production of lesser legumes.

Majority of people in developing countries rely on Traditional Medical Practitioners (TMPs) or herbalist, hunters and community elders for the treatments of various diseases and illness due to their vast knowledge of medicinal plant usage. There is need to protect the flora and fauna and also the knowledge database often stored in the memories of elders, ancestral and traditional healers. Ethnobotanical study of medicinal plants used in the treatment of cough was carried out in Akinyele Local Government with the aim to document plants and indigenous knowledge of local people in the treatment of cough. Eight villages were selected purposively due to the relics of forest in those villages. The villages are Ijaye, Onidundu, Otunagbakin, Moniya, Idi- ose, Apapa, Aroro and Olanla. Respondents were stratified into 2 strata in each of the villages, namely Traditional Medical Practitioners (TMPs) or herbalist and hunters. Within each stratum, a random selection of 10 respondents were carried out thereby making 20 respondents in each village and total number of 160 respondents as sample size. Semi structured questionnaire was used to obtain information from the respondents. The interview was conducted one-on-one using the local language (Yoruba). The data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics. The result showed that a total number of 16 plants belonging to 13 families were recorded and enumerated along with their botanical name, family and local name. Information on methods of preparation of the recipes, plant part used, form in which plant part is used, mode of administration, dosage and shelf life were also documented. There is need for domestication and conservation of these plants to prevent their extinction. The bioactive compound in some of these plants can be synthesized together to produce conventional drugs for cough. Further studies should also be carried out on these plant species to obtain more information on their bioactive properties.

Information on the medicinal plant used for traditional treatment of skin diseases was collected by semi-structured questionnaires administered to the respondents one-on-one in the local language (Yoruba) of the people. The data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics such as tables, percentages, pie charts, bar charts, Frequency of Citation (FC), Relative Frequency of Citation (RFC), Family Importance Value (FIV) and Plant Part Value (PPV)Results: The study revealed that 41 plant species from 25 families were used to treat 10 different types of skin disorders in the study area. The most represented families are Fabaceae and Rubiaceae. RFC ranged from 0.009 to 0.391.The most cited plant species are Jatropha curcas Linn. (RFC = 0.391), Ricinus communis L. (RFC = 0.313) and Entandrophragma cylindricum (Sprague) Sprague (RFC = 0.284). Trees are the most used plant form while bark is the most widely used plant parts (PPV = 0.373). The most common method of preparation was by decoction and the major route of administration of recipes was oral. Conclusion:The study concludes that medicinal plants have great potentials to treat different kind of skin diseases and the respondents have vast knowledge of their usage. However, government should ensure a synergy between the manufacturers of herbal medicine, professional in the field of traditional and alternative therapies with the aim to synthesis them into the healthcare delivery system of Nigerian.
