bibo:abstract "If dryland legumes are to meet the expectations of reducing poverty and hunger in the\r\nsemi-arid tropics, there will be need for a full understanding of their potential for\r\ndiffusion and the barriers to adoption. We apply a program evaluation technique to\r\ndata obtained from Tanzania to derive estimates of the actual and potential adoption\r\nrates of improved pigeonpea varieties and their determinants. The study reveals that\r\nonly 33% of the sampled farmers were aware of the improved pigeonpea varieties\r\nwhich consequently restricted the sample adoption rate of improved varieties to only\r\n19%. The potential adoption rate of improved pigeonpea if all farmers had been\r\nexposed to improved varieties is estimated at 62% and the adoption gap resulting from\r\nthe incomplete exposure of the population to the improved pigeonpea is 43%. We\r\nfurther find that the awareness of improved varieties is mainly influenced by attendance\r\nof Participatory Variety Selection activities. The adoption of improved varieties is\r\nmore pronounced among farmers with smaller landholdings suggesting that farmers\r\nfacing land pressure intensify pigeonpea production through the adoption of improved\r\nhigh yielding varieties. The findings are indicative of the relatively large demand for\r\nimproved pigeonpea varieties suggesting that there is scope for increasing their adoption\r\nrate in Tanzania once the farmers are made aware of the existence of the technologies."^^xsd:string;
