Perception of Agricultural Extension Personnel on the Use of Music in Disseminating Agricultural Information in Ondo State Nigeria
Abstract
The study examined the preferences and perceptions of agricultural extension personnel on
the use of music as a tool for agricultural information dissemination. Forty-four out of 50
extension agents in Ondo state were randomly selected for the study. Chi-square and the
Pearson Product Moment Correlation were used to analyse data. The study revealed that all
(100.0%) respondents accepted the use of music as a tool for agro-information
dissemination. The music genre most preferred was gospel (63.64%). All (100.0%)
respondents also had a favourable disposition towards its use. Only work cadre was
significantly associated with the perception of the use of music for agro-information
dissemination (ꭓ2 = 13.036). In designing music-based messages, consideration should be
given to the incorporation of a variety of genres or styles to appeal to a broader audience.
