Zero-tillage is a proven technology for sustainable wheat intensification in the Eastern Indo-Gangetic Plains: what determines farmer awareness and adoption?

8 The marginal effect of the age of the household head is negative across all model specifications, but weakly significant in the models without inclusion of NM characteristics only; hence, there is only a weak indication that older farmers are less informed about novel agricultural practices. 9 Much more important is the influence of education, with High education increasing the likelihood of being aware of ZT by 9.1 percentage points and the likelihood of adopting (conditional on awareness) by 7.6 percentage points.
