    "description": "<p>Wheat is one of the most important cereal crops cultivated in wide range<br>\nof agro-ecologies in Ethiopia. But, its productivity has remained low. Hence, this<br>\nstudy intends to examine the impact of agricultural technology adoption on wheat<br>\nproductivity in north Shewa zone of the Amhara region, Ethiopia. The analysis is<br>\nbased on household level data covering 693 households collected in 2020.<br>\nMultinomial logit model (MNL) and multinomial endogenous switching regression<br>\n(MESR) models are used for analysis. The results reveal that agricultural technology<br>\nadoptions are affected by the education level of the household head, off-farm<br>\nemployment, tropical livestock, access to credit, household saving, extension visit,<br>\nand distance from the market. In addition, the study shows that the adoption of<br>\nfertilizer and/or improved seed increases wheat productivity significantly.<br>\nFurthermore, the adoption of a combined fertilizer and improved seed provides<br>\nhigher productivity than the adoption of single technologies. Therefore, this study<br>\nrecommends that government and other stakeholders should have to work in<br>\ncollaboration with rural farmers to increase rural technology generation; dissemination<br>\nand adoption interventions to improve wheat productivity in the study area.</p>",
