“…The result indicates that the older the farmer the lesser the acceptance of NERICA 1 rice because older people are less energetic and have more farming experience which could make them reject new technologies and stick to traditional ways of farming practices. The result concurs with Ogunya et al (2017) who reported that the age of farmers was found to be significant and negatively related to the level of NERICA rice adoption.…”

The study analysed socio-economic and institutional factors influencing the acceptance of NERICA 1 rice among farmers in Gombe State, Nigeria. A multi-stage sampling technique was used for the study. Primary data were collected through a well-structured questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to achieve the objectives of the study. The finding showed that the overall mean age of the respondents was 37.8 years. Also, about 43% of the respondents had 11-20 years’ experience and majority (81.1%) were members of cooperative. The result of the logit regression estimate showed that age and farm size had a negative and significant influence on the acceptance of NERICA 1 rice at a P≤0.01 level of probability. Farming experience, amount of credit and membership of cooperative had significant and positive (P≤0.01) relationship with the acceptance of NERICA 1 rice. It was concluded that the majority of the respondents were young, male, literate, married, members of cooperative with moderate household size, and low rice farming experienced. Age, farming experience, farm size amount of credit and membership of cooperative were found to have a significant influence on the adoption of NERICA 1 rice. The study recommended that Federal, State, and Local Governments, private sectors, and NGOs should encourage youth to sustain the organizational spirit and create seminars and workshop to stimulate women participation in farming activities.

“…Many scholars such as Mulugeta [14], Wuletaw and Daniel [15], Ogunya et al [16], and Julius and Jimoh [17] had given weight to each package to obtain the intensity of adoption of a given technology. erefore, this study has given different weights for each package of Tef production technology (see equation (2).…”

Research conducted by Ogunya et al [16] used weight for each package to calculate the adoption intensity and level of Nerica rice varieties in Ogun, Nigeria. Julius and Jimoh [17] give weight for each technology packages to calculate the intensity of adoption of cocoa production technology packages in Ekiti State, Nigeria.…”

Tef is a major staple crop in Ethiopia and Eritrea. Many improved Tef varieties were released from the Ethiopian research institute in the past three decades. Information on the farmers’ adoption status and perception on released improved Tef technology have paramount importance for launching new and modifying Tef technology packages. However, such information is meager in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess farmers’ status and perception of improved Tef technologies. A multistage random sampling technique was employed to select sample of 224 Tef grower farmers. The results were interpreted and discussed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The result indicated that farmers in the study area found at the medium level of adoption of Tef production technology (i.e., the average adoption index is 0.43). The findings also confirm that farmers perception towards the relative advantages of improved Tef varieties shows that high grain yield, good germination, early mature, and disease resistance capacity were perceived as the most crucial attributes of improved Tef varieties, whereas straw quality and tolerance to lodging were perceived as the least important attributes of the technology. Therefore, efforts and commitments to be expected from plant breeders and genetic specialists to reduce lodging of Tef through hybridizing semidwarf Tef varieties.
