“…For example, Salifu, Alhassan, and Salifu (2015) used a logit model to analyze the determinants of adoption of improved maize varieties in the Wa municipality in Ghana and found that marital status, characteristics of improved seeds, age, education level, and experience in cultivating maize by the household head had a significant effect on the adoption of improved maize varieties. Additionally, Kalinda, Tembo, and Kuntashula (2014) using a Tobit model found that sex, membership in a peasant organization, farm size, and favorable perceptions towards the potential yields of improved maize varieties and the price of their output positively and significantly affected the adoption of improved maize varieties. In Cameroon, past studies have identified education level, marketing orientation, membership in farmer organizations, farm size and contact with extension agents as factors of adoption of improved maize varieties (MabahTene, Havard, & Temple, 2013;Ntsama Etoundi & Kamgnia Dia, 2008).…”
