Abstract
This paper examines factors influencing farmers' adoption decision of physical soil conservation practices in the Central Highlands of Ethiopia. Data were collected from 116 randomly selected Farmers through a structured questionnaire. Results from a logistic regression analysis show that security of land ownership, size of cultivated land, technology-specific characteristics, level of schooling, wealth status of the household head, availability of off-farm income and assistance from different sources were important determinants of adoption of physical soil conservation practices. About 97 percent of the sample cases were correctly predicted using the model.
