The purpose of this study is to examine the adoption behavior of agricultural technology and factors affecting technological innovation in the context of Taiwanese farming industry. The basic research design in this study is cross-sectional and allows for ascertaining the relationship between the characteristics of farmers and their innovative-adoption behavior of blasticides. Multiple regression analysis was used to assess the extent to which the blasticide adoption behavior could be explained by some important independent variables. Path analysis was used to ascertain the cause-effect relationships among the variables. The factor stratification was used to verify the institutional constraints on adoption of innovations. Data were collected from interviews of 450 farmers based on a multi-stage sample.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The purpose of this study is to examine the adoption behavior of agricultural technology and factors affecting technological innovation in the context of Taiwanese farming industry. The basic research design in this study is cross-sectional and allows for ascertaining the relationship between the characteristics of farmers and their innovative-adoption behavior of blasticides. Multiple regression analysis was used to assess the extent to which the blasticide adoption behavior could be explained by some important independent variables. Path analysis was used to ascertain the cause-effect relationships among the variables. The factor stratification was used to verify the institutional constraints on adoption of innovations. Data were collected from interviews of 450 farmers based on a multi-stage sample.
520 $a Results of this study conclude that the traditional diffusion model is probably applicable to Taiwanese farmers and is useful in examining farmers' adoption behavior, specifically in the context of individual behavior, low technology and commercially profitable innovation.
520 $a In addition, findings of this study clearly demonstrate that attitudinal and communication variables are better predictors of adopting new farm technologies than are the farmers' role and organizational variables. But among these four clusters of independent variables, only organizational variables--especially farm environmental variables--are the best predictor of yield per unit, defined as the consequence of adoption.
520 $a The institutional constraints analysis reveals that structural variables have only a marginal impact on the traditional adoption model for Taiwanese farmers; but those factors have important impact on yield per unit. The findings seemingly suggest that more complex theories than the traditional diffusion model for the institutional constraints model should be explored and used in future studies.
