“…The marginal effect of "secondary income" indicates that the likelihood of adoption is .67% higher for farmers with higher secondary income than their counterparts. This result confirms earlier studies' findings that higher off-farm income influences new technology adoption (Rahman et al, 2021;Sunny et al, 2022b)). However, farmers having no cash constraints during the cropping season have .37% less probability of being SIF adopters.…”

Introduction: Fossil fuel and electricity-based irrigation practices contribute to greenhouse gases and add substantial costs to water access. Solar-powered irrigation is spreading globally, notably in developing countries, as a solution to the rising energy and climate concerns related to agriculture. This policy perspective devoted to examining the impact of the solar irrigation facilities (SIF) adoption on irrigation cost and return on investment (ROI) based on seven years of panel data seeks to contribute to the efforts to propel solar irrigation toward delivering on the myriad of promises.Methods: Panel logistic regression was employed to analyze adoption determinants, while adoption impact was evaluated through the propensity score matching with the difference-in-difference (PSM-DID) method. In addition, the time and panel fixed effect DID and doubly robust DID model was also used for robustness check.Results: The result reveals that SIF adoption significantly increased ROI by 20% to 30% and reduced irrigation costs by 21% to 30%.Conclusion: The findings call for further research and analysis on evidence-based best practices for solar irrigation solutions at the farm level so that the dissemination of this revolutionary technology, apart from contributing to the advancement of the energy sector, also plays a vital role in driving us towards establishing a more equitable and sustainable world.

“…For fish culture, a transparency range of 15 to 40 cm is appropriate, according to Boyd (1990). The transparency in the current study ranged from 20 to 25 cm, which is in line with Uddin's (2002) and Rahman's (1999) findings.…”

An experiment was carried out to identify the perfect dose of Flash hormone for induced breeding of Mystus cavasius at the Reliance Aqua farm hatchery during the period from 29th June to 25th August, 2015. Three treatments (T1, T2, and T3), each with three duplicates, made up the experiment. From the brood rearing ponds, 45 pairs of female and male were selected, with a male to female sex ratio of 1:1. A single injection of Flash hormone, specifically 0.166, 0.125, 0.1 ml/kg body weight for males and 0.33, 0.25, 0.2 ml/kg body weight for females respectively in three treatments, was given to the brood fishes. The T1, T2, and T3 treatments showed a fertilization rate of 79.0, 88.7, and 77.51%, a hatching rate of 56.61, 60.03, and 37.78%, and a survival rate of 40.56, 50.86, and 32.07%, respectively. For all treatments, the incubation times for fertilized eggs were between 23 and 28 hours. The findings of the data analysis reported that the use of Flash hormone in T2 treatment resulted in the highest rates of fertilization (88.7%), hatching (60.03%), and survival (50.86%). When comparing the three Flash dosages, there were notable changes (P<0.05) in the rates of hatching, fertilization, and survival. A single dosage of Flash hormone (0.125 ml/kg body weight of male and 0.25 ml/kg body weight of female) in T2 was the hormonal combination that produced the greatest results for M. cavasius induced breeding.

“…The result is consistent with the rice research in Nepal wherein training on seed production increased the probability of adopting foundation rice seed production by 4.6% (Sapkota et al, 2017). In the same line, Rahman et al (2021) concluded that learnings received from the training sessions helped to upgrade the farmer's skills and had a positive influence on the adoption of improved practices. Briefly, training is an important aspect of acquiring knowledge and encouraging farmers, which in turn stimulates farmers to take the decision.…”

Rice seed production is an emerging agricultural enterprise to increase the income of farmers in Kailali. However, adoption of seed production technology is very limited in spite of its potential, which results in the poor supply of quality seed for its multiplication. Thus, this paper examines the influencing factors affecting farmers’ decision to adopt the foundation rice seed production in Kailali, Nepal. In total 158 households, 116 certified, and 42 foundation seed producers were selected using a stratified random sampling technique. The primary data were collected from September to November 2021. T-test, chi-square, and binary logistic model were applied for data analysis using SPSS. The result revealed that land size, experience, gender of household head, access to credit, training, extension contact, and type of family are statistically significant between two categories. Besides, the empirical result of logistic regression analysis indicated that out of twelve, six explanatory variables such as age, experience, training, extension contact, education, and type of family had significantly influence on adoption decision. Therefore, it is concluded the rice seed training programs and increasing the extension services would be beneficial to motivate the farmers for the production of foundation rice seed production.
