Abstract

The question of adoption and diffusion of innovations in general, and agricultural innovations in particular, has attracted considerable attention in recent years. The volume of published research on patterns and determinants of adoption behaviour both at the theoretical and empirical levels is vast and growing rapidly.1 This emphasis appears justified because of the large potential economic welfare implications of technological change (Mellor, 1985). Much of the argument about the existence of differential gains seems to have resulted from the evidence of differential rates of adoption and diffusion of the new agricultural technology.
