The paper assessed the socio-economic determinants of adoption of yam minisett technology in the middle belt
region of Nigeria; where 120 farmers were sampled through multi-stage random technique from six villages in
two Local Government Areas of Kogi and Benue States. Data collected by structured interview were analyzed
using descriptive statistics such as frequency counts, percentages and means; and probit regression model.
Results showed that 98.33 percent of farmers were aware of the technology while only 9.32 percent adopted the
technology. The probit analysis indicated that age of the farmers, farm size, years of farming experience, amount
of credit available and frequency of extension contacts were positively related to adoption and would probably
increase adoption of the improved yam minisett technology. There is need to increase availability of credit,
fertilizers and yam minisett dust, as well as improve extension services in the study area.
