Prevalence and Associated Factors of Agricultural Technology Adoption and Teff Productivity in Basso Liben District, East Gojjame Zone, North west Ethiopia.

Teff productivity and Teff technology adoption in Ethiopia is low and it requiring immediate attention for policymakers and decision-makers. This study was conducted to identify the determinant factors that affect Teff technology adoption and Teff productivity in Basso Liben district, East Gojjam Zone, Northwest Ethiopia. A cross-sectional study design was conducted among 190 households. Multivariable linear and logistic regressions were employed to identify the factors associated with Teff production and Teff technology adoption respectively. Of a total of 190 households considered in the study, 77.9% were Teff technology adopter. Household head gender (male) (OR=7.644), family size (OR=1.149), age of household head (OR=0.873), row planting (use)(OR=257.2), credit access (yes)(OR=3.141), manure(use)(OR=0.042) were significance associated with Teff technology adoption in the study area. Age of household head ({beta} = 0.079), Education level (primary)({beta} = -0.612), total land holding ({beta} = 5.107), annual income({beta}=0.0051), extension service (no)({beta} = -0.635), row planting (yes) ({beta} = 1.409), organic fertilizer (no)({beta} = -0.946) were significance associated with teff production in the study area. In this study, a low prevalence of agricultural technology adoption and Teff production and various associated agricultural technology adoption and Teff production factors have been identified in the study area. Thus, the concerned stockholders should intervene in agricultural technology adoption and Teff production via different extension service and by considering household size, community-based household head education, and efficient use landholding in hectare.
