该研究确定了非洲新稻（NERICA）技术采用水平，并确定了影响 NERICA 稻农技术采用水平和强度的因素，以提高研究地区稻农的 NERICA 产量。采用多阶段抽样技术选择了 200 名 NERICA 稻农进行研究。使用描述性统计数据和技术采用指数对收集的主要数据进行分析。结果显示，根据平均采用指数 0.9547，农民对 NERICA 技术的采用有两个主要水平。这些是部分采用者，指数为 0.9547。部分采用NERICA技术的农民占50.5%，完全采用NERICA技术的农民占49.5%。 NERICA技术的采用水平受到年龄、耕作经验和化肥使用量等因素的影响，而强度则受到使用劳动力数量、耕作经验和化肥使用量等因素的影响。研究得出的结论是，通过增加种子数量、劳动力数量和适当使用化肥，可以提高奥贡州 NERICA 技术的采用率。
The study determined the levels of New Rice for Africa (NERICA) technology adoption and identified the factors influencing the levels and intensity of technology adoption among the NERICA rice farmers with a view to improving NERICA production among rice farmers in the study area. A multi-stage sampling technique was used to select 200 NERICA rice farmers for the study. Primary data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics and technology adoption index. Results showed that there were two main levels of NERICA technology adoption among the farmers based on the mean adoption index 0.9547. These were partial adopters with an index of 0.9547. Partial adopters of the NERICA technology accounted for 50.5% of the farmers while full adopters accounted for 49.5%. The levels of adoption of NERICA technology was influenced by factors such as age, farming experience and quantity of fertilizer used while intensity was influenced by factors such as number of labour used, farming experience and quantity of fertilizer used. The study concluded that the adoption rate of NERICA technology in Ogun State could be improved by increasing the quantities of seed, number of labour and appropriate use of fertilizer.
