The Factors Influencing Wheat Row Planting Adoption in Wogera District, North Gondar Zone, Amhara Regional State, Ethiopia

Wheat is Ethiopia’s fourth most significant grain crop, although yields were poor. Adoption of better technology is one of the most promising methods to boost agricultural productivity and output. However, the adoption of new technology has been hampered by a number of issues. As a result, the purpose of this study was to investigate the factors that influence the adoption of wheat row planting in the Wogera district. The data was analysed using both descriptive and econometric approaches. According to the poll, 43 percent of respondents were adopters and 57 percent were non-adopters of wheat row planting. The Tobit model was used to discover characteristics that influence wheat row planting adoption and intensity. According to the results of the Tobit regression model, a total of 14 explanatory factors were found to be significant in influencing the adoption of wheat row planting.
