摘要

本研究确定并描述了Lwengo地区Malongo和Kyazanga县小农采用的主要节水技术(WCT)。本研究采用横断面入户调查设计,采用系统抽样法,共获得380户家庭样本。定量分析、多重对应分析(MCA)和Logit回归模型用于分析这些数据,以识别和表征主要的WCT,并确定影响技术采用的最重要因素。结果表明,覆膜是最主要的覆膜方式,其次是谷坝/水库、梯田、扎垄、深耕和渗坑。Logit模型表明,在7个因素中,有5个因素具有显著的积极影响,即:获得信贷(1.3);农坡位置(0.7);农场规模(0.4);获得农业投入和投资补贴(0.4);收入水平(0.2)。有一个因素具有重大的负面影响(参与其他经济活动/非农就业活动),只有一个因素被认为无关紧要(进入市场)。建议提高重要的节水技术,并强调最重要的因素,以便加强在该地区采取节水措施。

Adoption of Water Conservation Technologies among Small Scale Farmers in Lwengo District – Uganda
This study identified and characterised the dominant water conservation technologies (WCT) employed by small scale farmers in Malongo and Kyazanga sub-counties in Lwengo district. It employed a cross sectional household survey design, using systematic sampling to obtain 380 household samples. A quantitative analysis, Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) and Logit regression model were used to analyse these data to identify and characterise the dominant WCT and establish the most significant factor affecting the adoption of the technologies. Results indicated that mulching was the most dominant WCT employed, followed by Valley dams/reservoirs, terracing, tied ridges, deep tillage and infiltration pits. The Logit model indicated that out of seven factors, five had a significant positive influence namely: access to credit (1.3); farm slope location (0.7); farm size (0.4); access to agricultural inputs and investment subsidies (0.4); and level of income (0.2). One factor had a significant negative influence (engagement in other economic activities/off-farm employment activities) and only one was found to be insignificant (access to market). It is recommended that the significant water conservation techniques be upscaled, and that emphasis also be placed on the most significant factors in order to strengthen the adoption of water conservation in the area.
