Expert Elicitation for Assessing Agricultural Technology Adoption: The Case of Improved Rice Varieties in South Asian Countries
Cultivar-specific adoption information is imperative for agricultural research organizations to make strategic research plans for crop-genetic development. However, such data are often unavailable in developing countries or obsolete and unreliable even when they exist. A budget-friendly and reliable...Volume 12 Issue No. 1 (June 2015) -
Factors Influencing Farmers’ Adoption of Climate-Smart Agriculture in Rice Production in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta
Farmers’ adoption behavior of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) is a big factor in the sustainability of agricultural growth in the areas of economic, environmental, and social development. This study explores the antecedents of adoption behavior of multiple CSA, including soil and...Volume 17 Issue No. 1 (June 2020) -
Enabling Adoption of Stress-Tolerant Rice Varieties and Associated Production Management Technologies by Smallholder Farmers in Cambodia
Smallholder rice farmers in four target provinces surrounding Tonle Sap Lake in Cambodia face problems of crop failures and low yields due to biotic and abiotic factors and a lack of suitable seeds and technologies. This paper reviews the status of rice production in the four areas...Volume 20 Issue No. 1 (June 2023) -
Economic Cost and Returns from Research and Development: The Case of Chili in Bangladesh
The study estimated the benefit and rate of returns to investment on chili research and development (R&D) in Bangladesh. The Economic Surplus Model with ex-post analysis was used to determine the returns to investment and their distribution between production and consumption. Several discounting...Volume 12 Issue No. 1 (June 2015) -
Yield and Income Effects of Ecologically-based Rodent Management in Mekong River Delta, Vietnam
Regression-based strategies along with propensity score matching (PSM) were used to assess the farm-level economic impact of community action (CA) strategies associated with ecologically based rodent management (EBRM). The paddy yield and real net income of rice farmer beneficiaries of the EBRM...Volume 13 Issue No. 2 (December 2016) -
Coping with Climatic Stress in Eastern India: Farmer Adoption of Stress-Tolerant Rice Varieties
Cultivating stress-tolerant rice varieties (STRVs) is widely cited as a strategy of rice farmers to cope with climate-induced stresses. In India, dissemination of STRVs started in 2008 through international development initiatives, but only 5 percent of farmers have adopted it after...Volume 19 Issue No. 1 (June 2022) -
Soil Conservation Decisions and Upland Corn Productivity: A Philippine Case Study
This paper empirically investigates whether farmers who adopt soil conservation measures derive productivity gains. A twelve-year (1994-2006) panel data in Bukidnon, Philippines was used to quantify the indirect relationship between soil conservation technology adoption and upland corn productivity....Volume 6 Issue No. 2 (December 2009) -
Perceptions on the Challenges of Banana Cultivation and Bio-Based Technology Use Among Malaysian Smallholder Farmers
Bananas are one of the most commonly grown fruit crops in Malaysia, but local production has declined in recent years. Through site visits and interviews with 74 smallholder banana farmers, this study sought to know the current situation of the local smallholder banana industry, the challenges faced...Volume 19 Issue No. 2 (December 2022) -
What Happened to PhilRice's Microtiller? A Scaling Study
This study inquires on the outscaling of the microtiller, a machine developed by the Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) in the 1990s to address the tedious rice land cultivation in the Cordillera highlands of the Philippines. Stakeholders of the project were interviewed,...Volume 19 Issue No. 2 (December 2022) -
Statistical Modeling of Crop-Weather Relationship in India: A Survey on Evolutionary Trend of Methodologies
Weather factors, like other inputs such as land, labor, seeds, irrigation, fertilizer, and pesticides are also direct inputs in crop production. In a state of agriculture where the adoption and diffusion of modern technologies is very low or almost nil, weather factors count more than other inputs...Volume 15 Issue No. 1 (June 2018)
