Currently hoe-weeding is the major weed control adopted by women farmers who formed the bulk of farming population in Africa. This measure is costly, very cumbersome, drudgery, less attractive and may require several operations. In view of this it became necessary to carry out a study on Sustainable Weed management and Training Needs of Women Farmers in Ikot Ekpene Senatorial District of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria in 2013. Five objectives, five research questions and five
null hypotheses guided the study. Descriptive survey design was used for the study. The population of the study was 2,436 women farmers in Ikot Ekpene Senatorial district of Akwa Ibom State. A stratified random sampling technique was used to select 480 women farmers to constitute the sample size. The researchers developed instrument titled, "Women Farmers Training Needs for Weed Management in Arable Crop production Questionnaire (WOFTWAPQ)" and this was used to
generate data for the study. The instrument was validated by three experts. The reliability of the instrument was established using Cronbach alpha and the reliability coefficient was 0.93. Mean was used to answer the research questions. The findings of the study revealed that women farmers are in need of training in soil tillage, cropping system, determining crop population; crop spacing and integrated weed control as weed management strategies. It was recommended among others that women farmers should be trained and informed through seminars and workshops on the appropriate strategies for weed management to boost arable crop production in Africa.
