dc.description.abstractThis study was designed to evaluate women's awareness and adoption of recommended soyabean utilization innovations and the factors affecting the adoption of the innovations. Data were collected through the use of structured interview schedule administered to 150 randomly selected women in Samaru village of Sabon Gari Local Government Area of Kaduna State. The data collected were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistical tools . The results revealed that knowledge level of soyabean utilization innovations was relatively high, as about 82 percent of the respondents knew 10 or more of the 20 recommended uses of soyabean. Adoption score was, however, low as only 24 percent of the respondents adopted 10 or more of the recommended uses. Soya pap had t he highest adoption by 79 percent of the respondents followed by soya vegetable soup by 78 percent of the respondents and soya milk by 7l| percent of the respondents. Utilization innovations that were not adopted at all were soya kakro, soya amala, soya dakuwa, soya danwake, soya gari and soya wain a. Regression analysis showed that the variable most highly predictive of awareness was membership of associations followed by level of formal education and source of information, while the least predictive variable was household size, followed by income and age. The most important variable for adoption of utilization of soyabean was awareness followed by formal education and sources of information, while the leas important variable was age followed by literacy and income. Finally if women are to adopt recommended soyabean uses, concerted efforts should be geared towards teaching them relevant skills in processing and preserving methods. These, of course, could be achieved through effective delivery of extension service, to women in their various ethnic, religious or social groupings.en_US
