Specifically, the study examined the socio-economic characteristics of farmers in the study area, ascertained farmers awareness, utilization, perceived factors that enhance utilization and also identified constraints militating against effective utilization of ADP packages in the study area. Multistage sampling techniques were used in selecting 96 respondents for the study.
