Abstract
98 words
The study made an inquiry into the determinants of adoption of
soil erosion control technologies in Bukwo and Kween districts.
We found adoption would be high if farmers own different types
of farm tools, get frequent extension advice, are close to output
markets, own many hectares of land, and have higher income.
Some of the recommendations based on the findings are
expansion of coverage of relevant extension services and
support to farmers to enable them increase their incomes so
that they can afford to acquire the different types of tools used
in application of soil erosion control technologies.
