The relevant data were collected from secondary and primary sources. The primary data were collected using a questionnaire administered to 120 farmers comprising randomly selected adopters. Percentages, means and t-test were used to analyze certain aspects of the study. Tobit analysis was used to determine factors influencing adoption of IFTE. It was found that farm size and use of biological/chemicals were highly significant determinants of adoption of IFTE. It is concluded that when the recommendations made are implemented, the adoption of IFTE among farmers will increase and consequently, agricultural productivity and production will increase in Nigeria.]]>Adesina, A.A. and M.M.
