Abstract/Description: | New agricultural technologies can contribute to the economic, social, and environmental development of communities, improving their livelihoods and sustainability. The adoption of these technologies can be analyzed from a sociological or economic view point. Understanding the rate of adoption and the factors affecting the adoption are the first steps to understanding why farmers adopt or do not adopt a technology. This allows for better targeting of extension programmes. Research projects are often formulated not based on clear priorities and constraints of the farming community. Successful extension programmes must be based on an understanding of the variables that affect a farmer’s adoption decision. For a technology to be successful, extension efforts and testing the technology with on farm trials need to be done. Farmers with more labour and resources are more likely to adopt the technology. I compliment the efforts of Dr. K. Ravi Shankar and other authors for bringing this important work in usable form. Significant determinants of adoption and nonadoption are characterized in this study. Continued research on adoption determinants helps to improve the knowledge base on local, national and international levels. Evolving technologies that can be implemented by farm households with technical, labour and land constraints, is a challenge for the extension programmes. |
