ABSTRACT
The task of agricultural extension in Africa will for some
time be mainly concerned with the transfer of agricultural
technologies to farmers, This is because of the pressure on
farmers to increase food production rapidly to match population
increases and Agricultural Extension Services' belief that
improved food production technologies do exist which, if adopted by
the farmers, would significantly increase their food production
from the present levels. Farmers' participation with agricultural
extension agents was necessary to make them aware of improved maize
production practices, and also to enhance their adoption of those
practices. However , it did not really matter which extension
participatory approach was used. This is because, although the two
extension programmes studied (PPP and DAES) used different
participatory approaches to deliver similar extension messages
(improved maize production practices) , the proportion of farmers in
each group that used the various improved maize production
practices was not significantly different.
