Abstract
Land productivity of the farmers can be improved when farmers adopt improved soil management techniques that are environmentally friendly. This study looked at land productivity of different use levels of sustainable soil management techniques
(SSMT) of arable crop farmers in Imo state, Nigeria. Multi-stage random sampling technique was used to select 209 arable crop farmers. Objectives of this study were elicited from the sampled respondents through a well-structured questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistical tools such as mean, frequency distribution, percentage and partial productivity index model. Results showed that the mean farm size was 1.0 hectare. Majority of the arable crop farmers, 55.0 percent had a high use
level of sustainable soil management techniques compared to about 45.0 percent that had a low use level of the sustainable soil management techniques. This classification stems from the mean probability use-level which is 0.47. The result reveals a mean
probability use level of SSMT of 0.311 for farmers within the low use category and a mean probability of 0.594 for high use category of SSMT. Therefore, appropriate policies should be channeled towards eradicating challenges faced by the arable crop
