Overview

Assessment reveals innovative irrigation systems improve crop yield among smallholder farmers, suggesting increased productivity in agriculture.

Key Points

  • Users of innovative irrigation systems achieved significantly higher crop yields, enhancing productivity.
  • The study found that age, off-farm income sources, and high input costs influence the adoption of irrigation systems.
  • Data was collected from 308 smallholder farmers using a structured questionnaire and analyzed with Probit regression.
  • Strengthening policies for subsidizing irrigation technology can boost usage and farmer training on water management strategies.
