Abstract : The study investigated the constraints associated with the adoption of sustainable cassava weeds management technology for cassava systems (SCWMTCS) in Nigeria. Multistage was utilized in selecting 384 respondents for the study. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data collected. Results revealed that respondents have varied perceptions of the severity of constraints encountered in their process of adoption of SCWMTCS in the study area. Constraints comprising of frequent gluts in cassava market frustrates farmers, lack of processing equipment and poor value chain system for cassava products and frequent encroachments or destructive grazing of cassava farms by nomadic herders is very frustrating were rated high severity in the study area. Also, 17 constraints were rated to be moderately severe in the study area out of the 26 listed constraints encountered by cassava farmers.
