Abstract
Agricultural extension is designed to increase farmers’ productivity and well-being through the adoption of improved agricultural extension technological recommendations. Against this background, the study was conducted to determine the effect of adoption of agricultural extension recommendations on the resourcepoor farmers’ income from yam. In conducting the study, 180 yam farmers from Cross River State were randomly selected through multi-stage stratified random sampling technique. The data collected were analyzed using linear correlation and regression analysis at 5% level. The study showed that agricultural extension through farmers’ adoption of technological recommendations significantly increased farmers’ income from yam. The null hypothesis that agricultural extension does not increase farmers’ income from yam significantly was rejected, while the alternative hypothesis was accepted.
