摘要
本研究调查了几内亚金迪亚地区稻农采用改良水稻品种的特点。研究采用多阶段抽样程序选取了 180 名稻农,并使用结构合理的访谈指南向受访者收集信息。数据采用百分比、平均统计量、标准差和卡方进行分析。 采用最多的水稻品种是 CK 90(86.6%)。 影响采用改良水稻品种的因素包括市场渠道(84.9%)、协会会员资格(91.7%)和与推广人员的接触(85.5%)。 大多数稻农(97.2%)知道种植改良水稻品种。大多数受访者(66.1%)对种植改良水稻品种持积极态度,但面临贷款不足(=2.89)、杂草丛生(=2.37)、储存损失(=2.19)和推广活动少(=2.11)等制约因素。受访者的采用特征良好(88.3%),其中经济特征的平均值最高(=2.71)。学历与改良品种的采用特征明显相关(χ2 =1.149)。研究机构应努力确保水稻种植者有更多机会获得具有吸引力特征的改良品种,这将有助于改良品种的采用并确保几内亚的粮食安全。
Adoption of Improved Varieties among Rice Farmers in the Kindia Region of Guinea
This study investigated the adoption characteristics of improved rice variety among rice farmers in the Kindia region of Guinea. A Multistage sampling procedure was used to select 180 rice farmers and a well-structured interview guide was used to elicit information from the respondents. Data were analysed using percentages, mean statistics, standard deviation and Chi-square. The most adopted rice variety was CK 90 (86.6%). Factors influencing the adoption of improved rice varieties were market channels (84.9%), membership of associations (91.7%) and contact with extension personnel (85.5%). Most (97.2%) rice farmers knew about growing improved rice varieties. Most (66.1%) of the respondents had a favourable attitude towards growing improved rice variety but faced constraints like insufficient loan ( = 2.89), weed infestation ( = 2.37), storage losses ( = 2.19) and low extension activities ( = 2.11). The adoption characteristics of respondents were good (88.3%) with economic characteristics having the highest mean ( =2.71). Educational qualification was significantly related (χ2 =1.149) to the adoption characteristics of improved variety. Efforts should be made by research institutes to ensure increased access of rice farmers to improved seed varieties with attractive characteristics which could aid its adoption and ensure food security in Guinea.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Agricultural Extension (JAE) is devoted to the advancement of knowledge of agricultural extension services and practice through the publication of original and empirically based research, focusing on; extension administration and supervision, programme planning, monitoring and evaluation, diffusion and adoption of innovations; extension communication models and strategies; extension research and methodological issues; nutrition extension; extension youth programme; women-in-agriculture; extension, Climate Change and the environment, ICT, innovation systems. JAE will normally not publish articles based on research covering very small geographic area that cannot feed into policy except they present critical insights into emerging agricultural innovations.
