Abstract:The study was conducted to determine the effects of spacing (plant population) of cucumber. The experiment was carried out at the teaching and research farm of the department of Agriculture, Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, Ndele Campus between July and November 2018. The experimental design used was the Completely Randomized Block Design (C.R.D). The different spacing used were 50cm x 50cm, 100cm x50cm and 100cm x100cm, the parameters measured were plant length, number of leaves, leaf area, number of fruits, fruit length and girth, and fruit weight. The result obtained showed that cucumber planted at the spacing of 100cm x 50cm recorded the longest length, highest number of leaves, highest leaf area, and highest total fruit length and weight therefore planting cucumber at the spacing of 100cm x 50cm is recommended for optimum performance and yield of cucumber for farmers in Rivers State.

Abstract:The objective of this paper was to assess the technical efficiency and factors affecting efficiency of faba bean production in Kresa Malima district of Oromia region, Ethiopia. A sample of 181 respondents from six kebeles of Kersa Malima District in 2014 cropping season were selected using a random multi-stage sampling technique. Stochastic frontier and translog functional form with a one-step approach were used to assess the technical efficiency and factors affecting technical efficiency of farmers. The result showed that the mean technical efficiency of faba bean was found to be 69 percent. This implies that given the existing technology and level of inputs the output could be increased by 31%. The technical efficiency analysis also showed that about 60 percent of the farmers were above the average and 38 percent were below the average of mean technical efficiency. The production efficiency of faba bean farming was determined by education, livestock holding, distance to all-weather roads, distance to faba bean plot and slop negatively. Age, extension contact and family size were positively affect inefficiency of faba bean farmers.
Keywords:Stochastic frontier, Technical efficiency, small holder faba bean farmers.
