Summary in the original language of the document
Comparative analysis of organic farming practices amongst farmers in South –South Nigeria was carried out. Multistage random selection technique was employed to select rural households engaged in fish, livestock and crop production Organic farming practices amongst crop farmers were the use of farmyard manure, intercropping, mulching and spot bush burning. Among livestock farmers were access to fresh drinking water and adequate feeding. Out of the fourteen practices outlined, fish farmers engaged in the use of three of such practices - eco-friendly design, site is far from polluting substances and pond protection from predators. There was significant difference in the farmers’ level of use of organic farming practices based on their states of origin (Akwa-Ibom, Bayelsa and Delta). It was concluded that farmers’ in Akwa-Ibom state make use of organic farming practices best, followed by Bayelsa state and the least is Delta state.
