Abstract	The importance of education to individual and national development engendered the need for both quality teaching and learning by teachers and students respectively. To accomplish these objectives, digital education apps have become intensively deployed for teaching and learning in the school system. Based on the potential of integrating the digital apps for self-learning and academic tasks performance, this study examined the commonly exploited digital education apps for executing educational activities by agriculture students in the Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta, Nigeria (FUNAAB). Using a stratified sampling technique, a total of 261 students were surveyed, and a validated and reliable questionnaire was used to obtain information on the commonly used digital education apps and its impact on their academic task performance. The study revealed that digital apps such as Wikipedia/Google engine, WPS/Office Pro, Notability, Calculator and Grammarly had significant impacts on the agro-students' academic tasks execution. The need to sustain and strengthen the use of the apps for academic tasks performance among the agro-students was recommended. (As Provided).
