The main mission of agriculture educators is to convey practical knowledge, skills and attitudes into real world settings. This study assessed socio-economic factors affecting academic staff's perception of agriculture field practical training in Universities in Edo state, Nigeria. Data were collected from 96 lecturers randomly selected from 3 universities with the aid of questionnaire and analyzed with frequency count, percentage, mean and Pearson Product Moment correlation (PPMC). Results showed that a higher proportion (37.50%) and most (95.83%) of lecturers were between 3 1 and 40 years and permanent staff respectively. Majority (54.17%) and most (91.67%) were Ph.D holders and males respectively. Equipment for teaching crop protection pest, and disease control was perceived highest quality (M = 3.58), respondents were mostly constrained by inadequate teaching materials (M – 4.17) in field practical. There was a significant relationship between age (r = -0.516) and perception of constraints faced in teaching in agriculture field practical training at 0.01 level. The study concludes that some of the equipment used in the field practical training were of low quality and that lecturers were faced with serious constraints in the course of agriculture field practical training. It was recommended that as a policy, government, non-governmental organizations as well as international organizations, interested agriculture and education development in Nigeria should provide adequate teaching materials for industrial training of university agriculture students to prepare them for a successful agriculture career and a strong coordination between agriculture faculties in universities, agriculture research institutes and education research and curriculum development to allow for effective teaching and learning experiences in Nigeria to achieve an agriculture advance status.
