      abstract = {Farmers and their technology remain central to national  food security and agricultural development in Nigeria.  There is growing concern that the technologies used by  farmers for storage and preservation of arable crops may  constitute impediments to rural agricultural development.  The study assessed farmers' utilization of indigenous  storage and preservation technologies for arable crops with  a view to expanding technology options. Multi-staged  sampling procedure was used to obtain data from 240  practicing arable crop farmers. The results revealed that  15 technologies were utilised with variations between crops  and gender. The constraints to technology utilisation and  reasons for usage were also identified. Results of  regression analysis revealed that years of formal  education, years of farming experience and farm size  significantly influenced technology utilization in arable  crops in Nigeria. There was a low extent of utilization and  most farmers were dissatisfied with indigenous technologies  despite few available alternatives. },
