Abstract
The study investigated participation of women farmers in planning and implementation of agricultural practices in northeastern Nigeria. Multistage sampling procedure was used to select 378 respondents out of 6758 women farmers in the zone. Questionnaire was used to collect data from the sampled farmers. Mean and standard deviation were used for analyses of data. The study showed low level of women farmers participation in planning agricultural practices (𝑥̅=2.27). Implementation of agricultural practices among women farmers had high-level participation (𝑥̅=3.74). The need for extension programme that would ensure effective motivation by extension workers for meaningful participation of women farmers in planning and implementation of agricultural practices become necessary for increase productivity.

The Journal of Agricultural Extension (JAE) is devoted to the advancement of knowledge of agricultural extension services and practice through the publication of original and empirically based research, focusing on; extension administration and supervision, programme planning, monitoring and evaluation, diffusion and adoption of innovations; extension communication models and strategies; extension research and methodological issues; nutrition extension; extension youth programme; women-in-agriculture; extension, Climate Change and the environment, ICT, innovation systems. JAE will normally not publish articles based on research covering very small geographic area that cannot feed into policy except they present critical insights into emerging agricultural innovations.
