The X-axis represents perceived production constraints identified by farmers whereas the Y-axis is the ranking of the constraints by farmers A Matazu local government area (LGA) B Kaita LGA C Danja LGA, and D Dandume LGA, all in Katsina State. Adulteration = adulterated chemicals, Aphids = infestation of field by aphid insects, Drought = incidence of drought occurrence, Fertilizers = poor access to phosphate fertilizer in the local market, Insects = infestation by different insect pests, PSB = damage of cowpea plants by pod sucking bugs, Striga = prevalence of Striga gesnerioides, & Seeds = limited access to improved seeds of varieties
