Technologies
This study describes factors influencing extent of adoption of soil and water
conservation (SWC) technologies implemented on farmers' field under two watershed
management projects in semi-arid region of Rajasthan. A sample of 50 beneficiary
farm households owning fields treated with SWC technologies under a watershed
management project was selected randomly from each watershed as respondents in the
study. Multi-variate regression model was employed to identify factors influencing
extent of adoption. Farm size and economic motivation factors significantly affected
extent of adoption in Chhajawa watershed. In Badakhera watershed, farm size,
mechanical power, scientific orientation were the factors which positively influenced
adoption, while farm implements, farmer innovativeness and risk perception had a
negative effect on extent of adoption. Pooled analysis of both watersheds identified
farm size, economic motivation, and scientific orientation as positive factors, whereas
risk perception and extension contact were the factors which negatively influenced the
adoption extent. Variation in factors affecting the extent of adoption in both the
watersheds located in the same region suggests that any technological intervention for
SWC in an area ought to begin with cognizance of local factors, which may influence
technology adoption.
