Abstract

Telfairia is widely cultivated for its palatable and nutritious leaves which are used mainly as vegetable. This study examined determinants of farm productivity among fluted pumpkin farmers in Ikenne Local Government Area, Ogun state, Nigeria. Two-stage sampling method was employed for this study. Data was analysed using Descriptive statistics, Total factor productivity and Ordinary least squares regression analysis. Results showed that mean age of farmer and farming experience were 40.1± 1.1years and 6.5 ± 2.3 years respectively. The regression result showed that cost of labour used, educational status, cost of fertilizer used, frequency of extension visits and farmers’ experience siginificantly affected pumpkin farmers productivity. The study recommends the enhancement of farmers’ access to education and the encouragement of the use of fertilizer and labour saving technologies in the fluted pumpkin farms.
