ABSTRACT
Smallholder farmers across major irrigation schemes in Northern Ghana especially in Golinga and Bontanga have successfully adopted the Urea Deep Placement (UDP) technology introduced some four years ago by the Feed the Future USAID Ghana Agriculture Technology Transfer (ATT) project. This is a great complement for the International Fertilizer Development Center (IFDC) inventors of the technology and could help Ghana to boost her rice production if pragmatic measures are taken by the ministry to upscale it. This study sought to find out the role of information dissemination methods in the adoption of the UDP. Close and open-ended questionnaires and personal interviews were used in collecting data from 200 irrigated rice farmers for this study. The study employed descriptive statistics such as percentages, frequencies, mean, cross-tabulation and chi-square text in analyzing the data.
