Mozambique, Tanzania and Zimbabwe through On-Farm Monitoring, Adaptive Management and
Agricultural Innovation Platforms. We are grateful for advice from Jamie Pittock and Richard Strizaker
and two anonymous reviewers.This research was funded by the Australian government via the Australian Centre for International
Agricultural Research (ACIAR) and by an ARC Future Fellowship [FT140100773].","This study provides an overview of extension influence on the adoption of irrigation innovations in developed and developing countries, and finds that extension plays a more significant positive role in influencing soft technology adoption in developing countries. Case studies on the nature, use and availability of extension advice in six irrigation schemes in Tanzania, Mozambique and Zimbabwe are presented. The use of government extension officers varied significantly, with extension use not linked to farm outcomes. The results suggest the need to support more diverse sources of advice and to promote institutional reform in south-eastern Africa.","2017","published",,"International Journal of Water Resources Development","33","5","Taylor and Francis Group",,"755-769",,,,,,"10.1080/07900627.2016.1225570",,,,,"TRUE",,"0790-0627",,,,,,"","http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/07900627.2016.1225570","https://scholar.google.co.in/scholar?hl=en&q=An+overview+of+extension+use+in+irrigated+agriculture+and+case+studies+in+south-eastern+Africa&btnG=","pub",,"Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR)","",,,,,,"",,,,,,,"",,,,,"",,,,,"","",,,,,"","",,,,,
