Survey research design was adopted. Two research questions and two null hypotheses guided the study. The population for the study was 367 which comprised 258 registered farmers and 109 extension agents in the three agricultural zones in the State. There was no sampling due to the manageable size of the population. Structured questionnaire containing a total of 17 items was the instrument for data collection. The reliability of the instrument was determined using Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient method. A correlation of 0.74 was obtained. A total of 367 copies of the questionnaire were distributed by the researcher and three briefed research assistants. Out of 367 copies distributed 354 were properly filled and used for data analysis representing 96.46 percent return rate. It was found out that farmers were not aware of the improved seed used in farming activities and that the extent of adoption of chemical control system in their farming activities was to a low extent. Recommendations made include: that practical demonstration awareness should be conducted to educate the farmers on the use of improved agricultural innovations in seeds planting and that extension agent should encourage the farmers to use chemical in controlling paste, diseases and dressing of the seeds.
