Description This study on adoption and diffusion of improved Chickpea short duration varieties is a part of a global initiative to assess the impacts of legumes research in the CGIAR, supported by SPIA contributes to generating more reliable information on key aspects of adoption and diffusion as well as gaining better insights and deeper understanding of the impacts of varietal change. The aim of the study is to find evidences that adoption of technologies significantly enhanced agricultural productivity and total welfare gains in both traditional and non-traditional Chickpea growing regions. The study focuses on concluding reliable data on adoption and to better understand the diffusion process as well as quantify the direct impacts on productivity, unit cost reduction and welfare gains from Chickpea research. The end objective is to measure the economic impact of improved short duration Chickpea varieties, at the same time achieve a deeper understanding of the underlying adoption and diffusion process. The study focuses on a detailed systems analysis: using quantitative household and village level survey data to capture adoption, cropping pattern and production, information dissemination, household income, assets and consumption and cost of cultivation of selected farmers. This was combined with expert elicitation workshops to generate more reliable information on key aspects of adoption of chickpea. The study collected information that pertained to the 2011-12 cropping season at selected villages of Andhra Pradesh. Overall, a total of 810 households was covered from 90 villages and 30 mandals in seven districts of Andhra Pradesh representing more than 71% of the chickpea area in the state. A sample of nine Chickpea growers were randomly selected and interviewed with a structured questionnaire. An additional sub-sample of three non-Chickpea growing farm households was included in the sample in addition to the 9 Chickpea farm-households in each village for establishing the second counter-factual in the study. Overall, the study is covered 1080 respondent farm-households from 90 villages (9 chickpea HH and 3 non-Chickpea households). The above formal surveys were complemented by a series of focus-group discussions (FGDs) which were conducted in each study village to capture both the quantitative and qualitative impacts of Chickpea technology on farmers.
