      abstract = {Slow adoption rates of Agricultural technologies continue  to beset Africa’s food insecurity reduction efforts and  economic development generally.  Household survey data and  focus group discussions were used to identify determinants  of adoption of tissue culture bananas among smallholder  farmers in Western Kenya. Logit analysis shows that gender,  off-farm employment, household size, education level, age,  land size, off farm income and extension services had  significant influence on adoption of tissue culture banana  production. More significant is sustainable access to  Tissue culture plantlets which is a crucial input.  Successful interventions should target youth, women famers  and access to extension information. Policies targeting  land consolidation will also help increase technology  adoption.},
