dc.description.abstractFarmers in Nigeria grow sorghum under low-input traditional farming practices. Possibility of increasing resource productivity in sorghum production could come from evaluation of technical efficiency in the existing sorghum-based cropping systems. This study determined technical efficiency for five popular sorghum-based cropping systems in Soba Local Government Area ofKaduna State. ٨، random sample of 125 farmers was used for the study during cropping season of year 2002. Data collected were based on production factor variables, while analysis was do.٦e by using stochastic frontier production function. The overall technical efficiency observed in the sorghum-based cropping systems ranged between 58 to 74 per cent. Contribution ofjand and labour in increasing crop production was also observed to be more prominent in all the sorghum-based cropping systems. Crop output could, therefore, be improved through any means of land consolidation and improved labour device.en_US
