Abstract: A survey the study aimed to establish the relationship between agro-ecological regions and adoption of organic and inorganic fertilizer use and to establish the relationship between household demographic and socio-economic status and the adoption of organic and inorganic fertilizer use. Both organic and inorganic fertilizers application rates were not informed bey soil testing and were below the recommended rates contributing to low yields. Binary logistic regression results indicate that adoption of urea application in maize crop was influenced by agro-ecological region and distance to the town market (p
