 หัวเรื่อง:ไม่มีชื่อไทย (ชื่ออังกฤษ : Quantitative Methods for Analysis of Factors Influencing Farmers’ Adoption of Technology.) ผู้เขียน: Aree Wiboonpongse สื่อสิ่งพิมพ์:pdf Abstract A study on factors influencing the adoption of farm innovation aims at understanding of farmers’ socio-economic characteristics, which affect farmers adoption. This paper reviews quantitative methods employed in the recent studies of adoption determinants and compares empirical results of the 6 methods applied to adoption of grass strip in integrated soil water conservation cropping systems in Mae Hong Son highlands, include ; (i) Spearman rank correlation (ii) chi-square test (iii) A model with grass strip area as dependent variable using the least square (LS) technique (iv) A logit model of grass strip ratio to total land holding of adopters with LS technique (v) A binary dependent model using LS technique and (vi) Finally Logit model for the binary dependent variable with maximum likelihood estimation. Since the tests of the independence of nonparametric methods rest on the impact of a given factor and ignore the influence of the others, their results are not all consistent with obtained by parametric methods. The techniques applied to models (iii), (iv) and (vi) are considered appropriate as the tests indicated that the specified models explain correctly. Nevertheless, the choice of the model depends on the information available for the dependent variable and its implication. The method (v) is not acceptable theoretically as the predicted value possibly goes beyond 0 and 1 and moreover, accuracy of prediction is only 77% as compare to 90% obtained from likelihood estimation. |
หัวเรื่อง:ไม่มีชื่อไทย (ชื่ออังกฤษ : Farmers' Adoption on the Application of Natural Rubber Mats for Dairy Farming) ผู้เขียน:ธีระยุทธ พงศ์เลิศฤทธิ์,  ดร.ศุภพร ไทยภักดี, รองศาสตราจารย์ , ดร.สาวิตรี รังสิภัทร์, รองศาสตราจารย์ , ดร.สมเกียรติ ประสานพานิช, รองศาสตราจารย์ สื่อสิ่งพิมพ์:pdf AbstractThe objective of this research was to study farmers? adoption of the natural rubber mats for dairy farming. The natural rubber mat was a new technology in dairy farming which helped keeping cows comfortable, safety, healthy and minimizing diary lameness. The population consisted of 46 farmers who attended the training course on the application of the natural rubber mat of dairy farming. Questionnaires were used for data collection. Percentage, mean and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient were used for data analysis. The results revealed that more than half of dairy farmers were in the adoption stage and adoption level had positive relation to the pattern of dairy housing and amount of family labour in dairy farms (p<.05). A problem found was an expensive price of the natural rubber mat causing farmers to reject the use of the rubber mats because 86.7 percent were small farms (1-20 diary cows). In addition, some farmers needed to obtain a loan from local dairy cooperatives; however, there was no coordinator between dairy cooperatives and farmers. Furthermore, the farmers asked the government?s sector or concerned organizations to provide the training on more technology related to rubber mats. |

หัวเรื่อง:ไม่มีชื่อไทย (ชื่ออังกฤษ : Farmers' Adoption of Improved Technological Knowledge on Soybean Production in Northern Shan State Area, Myanmar) ผู้เขียน:Naing Kyi Win, ดร.ประเดิม ฉ่ำใจ, รองศาสตราจารย์ สื่อสิ่งพิมพ์:pdf AbstractThe objectives of this research were to study: the socio-economic characteristics of farmers and their knowledge of soybean production; extension activities affecting the adoption of improved soybean production technologies; farmers? problems; and recommended alternative solutions. Of the 25,743 soybean farmers in the Lashio , Hsipaw and Kyaukme townships of Northern Shan State 377 were sampled. Data were collected using an interview schedule and were analyzed using frequency, percentages and arithmetic means. A Chisquare test was employed to test hypotheses at the .05 significance level. The findings revealed that the adoption of improved soybean production technologies was less than 50 percent except for the adoption of improved varieties. Hypothesis testing revealed that adoption was significantly related to: (1) the educational level; (2) family labor; (3) farm income; (4) credit; (5) off-farm employment; (6) farmers? knowledge on soybean production; and (7) extension activities such as home or farm visits, group activities and demonstrations. Major problems of the farmers were: credit, the improved varieties, fertilizers, technical knowledge, and a need for extension activities. |
