This research was conducted in Argungu Local Government
Area of Kebbi State to assess the adoption of improved millet
varieties by farmers. Sixty (60) respondents were purposively drawn
from (3) districts: two Villages were selected from each of the
districts (Alwasa, Bakaramba, Fakon Sarki, Kamfani, Sauwa,
Zazzagawa). Sixty structured questionnaires were randomly
administered and the data generated were carefully analyzed using
simple descriptive statistics (frequencies and percentages). Result
obtained indicates that 73.3% of the respondents used and tested
new varieties millet. (Ex-gashua, Ex-Bornu and Sammil 1), 26.7 % did
not use the improved varieties of millet. It is therefore recommended
that local farmers should be enlightened and trained on the existence
and advantages of using improved varieties of millet.
