We found that the training effectively increases the adoption of improved rice cultivation practices, paddy yield, and profit of rice cultivation by small-holder farmers. In fact, the trainees achieve paddy yield of 5 tons per hectare on average, which is remarkably high in rain-fed rice cultivation by any standard. Our results suggest high potential for achieving a rice Green Revolution in rain-fed areas and the importance of extension services by large-scale farms. 000212521 546__ $$aEnglish 000212521 650__ $$aEnvironmental Economics and Policy 000212521 650__ $$aResearch and Development/Tech Change/Emerging Technologies 000212521 6531_ $$aGreen Revolution 000212521 6531_ $$aSub-Saharan Africa 000212521 6531_ $$aTechnology Adoption 000212521 6531_ $$aLowland Rice 000212521 6531_ $$aModified System of Rice Intensification 000212521 700__ $$aNakano, Yuko 000212521 700__ $$aTanaka, Tuki 000212521 700__ $$aOtsuka, Keijiro 000212521 773__ $$d2015 000212521 8564_ $$9f1912eaa-ced5-4b38-86c4-fe685740222c$$s738529$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/212521/files/Nakano-To%20What%20Extent%20Do%20Improved%20Practices%20Increase%20Productivity-715.pdf 000212521 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/212521 000212521 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:212521$$pGLOBAL_SET 000212521 912__ $$nSubmitted by Allison Hasslen (hassl020@umn.edu) on 2015-11-18T17:00:25Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Nakano-To What Extent Do Improved Practices Increase Productivity-715.pdf: 738529 bytes, checksum: 9f5f2a26839c7889becb82997fd1fae5 (MD5) 000212521 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2015-11-18T17:00:25Z (GMT).
