Question

Factors affecting the adoption of new irrigation technologies

Answer 1

The "economic element" is the first aspect to consider. This component includes cultivation, average yearly agricultural revenue, funds received, and average farm size.

The social component had the second-highest impact on farmers' attitudes about the adoption of modern irrigation systems. This component contains characteristics about farmers' attitudes about contemporary techniques, farmers' attitudes toward irrigation, farmers' knowledge of irrigation-related problems, and farmers' social connections in agriculture.

The third element was that of organization and support. This component includes attending promotional courses, visiting agricultural extension offices, watching agricultural extension television shows, listening to agricultural extension radio programs, and purchasing agricultural extension books and other materials.

The fourth component includes four factors that pertain to the "individual factor." Age, agricultural job experience, number of laborers, and family members were included in this variable.

The fifth element is linked with factors about geographical difficulties. As a result, this component may be referred to as the "Environmental factor."
