Resumo: | The study identified the sustainable land management practices being used by farmers in Osun State. The analysis determined the factors associated with the use of the land management practices and the best of the practices being used. Multistage sampling technique was used to select 256 farmers from eight Local Government Areas (LGAs) of the State. Eight different enterprise farmers were selected from the LGAs and four farmers were purposively selected from each enterprise. Data collected were described with frequency, mean and standard deviation while factor and regression analyses were used to make inferences for the study. The results revealed that the mean age of the farmers was 48.0±10.3, majority was married and about 60% were male. The mean household size was 6.6±2.8 and majority was able to read and write. The study identified 35 sustainable land management practices which were known to the farmers, out of which 28 were being practiced. Seven factors associated with the use of sustainable land management practices are: farming experience, economic, educational, accessibility to inputs, personal and family characteristics as well as soil fertility status. These factors were statistically significant (P < .05) to the use of soil management practices. We concluded that the level of awareness and use of sustainable land management practices in the state was still below the expected standard. |

A técnica de amostragem multi-estágio foi utilizada para selecionar 256 agricultores de oito Áreas Governamentais Locais (AGLs) do estado. Oito diferentes empresas agrícolas foram selecionadas nas AGLs e, também, quatro agricultores formam selecionados de cada empresa. Os dados coletados foram descritos com base na frequência, média e desvio padrão, enquanto as análises de regressão e de fatores foram utilizadas para realizar inferências neste estudo. Os resultados revelaram que o grupo de agricultores era majoritariamente formado por homens (60%) que tinham, em média, 48.0±10.3 anos de idade. O tamanho médio dos domicílios era de 6.6±2.8 e a maior parte dos residentes não eram capazes de ler e escrever. O estudo identificou 35 práticas de gerenciamento sustentável da terra conhecidas pelos agricultores, sendo que 28 destas 35 práticas eram efetivamente utilizadas. Sete fatores associados com o uso sustentável da terra são: experiência, acesso à recursos econômicos, acesso recursos educacionais, acesso à insumos, características pessoais, características familiares e status de fertilidade do solo. Os fatores estimados são estatisticamente significantes (p < 0,05), demostrando que os níveis de consciência e de uso de práticas de gerenciamento sustentável no estado estão abaixo dos padrões esperados.UFVJM2016-12-04info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigo avaliado pelos Paresapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ufvjm.edu.br/revista-espinhaco/article/view/9110.5281/zenodo.3957974Revista Espinhaço ; Revista Espinhaço #92317-0611reponame:Revista Espinhaçoinstname:Universidade Federal dos Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri (UFVJM)instacron:UFVJMenghttps://revistas.ufvjm.edu.br/revista-espinhaco/article/view/91/99Copyright (c) 2022 Revista Espinhaço https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAdedapo Adesoji, SolomonLydia Adejumo, Adeola2022-07-22T18:45:44Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/91Revistahttps://revistaespinhaco.com/index.php/revista/indexPUBhttps://revistas.ufvjm.edu.br/revista-espinhaco/oairevista.espinhaco@gmail.com || doug.sathler@gmail.com2317-06112317-0611opendoar:2022-07-22T18:45:44Revista Espinhaço - Universidade Federal dos Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri (UFVJM)false |
