Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines how sociological factors influence the adoption of technologies and practices in irrigation and drainage management. The author reviews literature on agricultural innovation, identifying key variables that affect farm owners'/managers' decisions around irrigation and drainage techniques. These variables include social, institutional, political, farm characteristics, and the characteristics of the technology/innovation itself. The author proposes a conceptual model of the adoption process and a set of matrices for evaluating innovative irrigation and drainage technologies and management practices that might be recommended to solve drainage problems in the San Joaquin Valley of California. The author also discusses the use of a technique called 'backward mapping' in the analysis of policies and strategies to encourage the adoption and diffusion of these innovations. Overall, this book provides a comprehensive overview of the sociological factors that influence the adoption of agricultural innovations and offers a valuable framework for evaluating the potential success of recommended technologies and management practices in the agricultural sector. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
