The main objective of this study was to determine the role of gender in the adoption of innovations in lebel MalTa area, West Darfur State, Sudan. The study was based on primary data collected through a field survey that covered three localities in Jebel Marra area; namely, Zalingei, Garssela and Mornei. The stratified sample technique was used for collecting information by using a questionnaire (120 respondents). The multiple regression analysis revealed that although the respondents were highly aware of agricultural technology, their rates of adoption were still below optimum, and male respondents exceeded female respondents in their rate of adoption. Therefore, the study concluded that West Darfur State government could realize more agricultural output through educating and training the female farmers in Jebel Marra area
