“…Increased insolation and air temperature affect the work of the photosynthetic apparatus of plants. Together with the improvement of rice cultivation technology, it also contributes to changes in crop productivity (Mesfin L, Zemedu AH 2018, Mhammadi Reza et al 2011, Chen Xinping et al 2014. Thus, the variety exchange and the correct placement of varieties in the crop rotation fields can increase the gross rice output.…”

This paper presents the varietal structure of rice crops and the results of ecological variety tests in the Krasnoarmeisky district of Krasnodar region for 2016-2019. It also identifies the promising varieties taking into account the acreage of sowing and crop productivity. A rice varietal complex has been developed for the conditions of the Krasnoarmeisky district. Despite certain external similarities and the same productive potential of the varieties offered for production, they differed in biological and technological indicators, i.e. in relation to environmental factors and responsibility to technologies. In this regard, the formation of the varietal structure of rice crops, the main thing is to identify the most productive varieties for each district and farm, taking into account the agro-ecological quality of the land, the cultivation technology and the predecessor by making environmental and production tests.

“…With higher levels of farmer education, it is expected that farmers will likely to use high quality seeds. [5], [6], [7] have found that the education of the farmer household is related to the participation of farmers in using improved varieties. [6] found the positive correlation between education and the participation of farmers in improved seed technology.…”

Central Sulawesi’s rice productivity in 2019 was lower compared to that in 2018. One of the problems for the low productivity of paddy in Central Sulawesi is the application of low quality of seeds. Ministry of Agriculture through Central Sulawesi AIAT has introduced a numbers of new high yielding varieties (HYV) to increase rice production and productivity. To support the dissemination of new HYV, it is important to study the rice varieties that mostly used by farmers in Central Sulawesi. The objectives of this study are to identify the rice varieties and the preferred characteristics of rice varieties that farmers usually used in Central Sulawesi. This study used primary and secondary data. Data were analyzed descriptively and presented in tables and graphs. The results show that most farmers in Central Sulawesi use Mekongga, Ciherang, and Cisantana varieties, and local varieties such as Peluncur, Dewi, Ntabone and others. Farmers generally prefer varieties which tend to produce higher yields and resistant to pests and diseases. To maintain the availability of the varieties in Central Sulawesi, it is important to train farmers to become breeders.

“…There have been a plethora of empirical studies on the determinants of the adoption of modern rice varieties in Africa (Mesfin and Zemedu, 2018; Diagne, 2006; Sall et al , 2000) and Asia (Nonvide, 2020; Chandio and Yuansheng, 2018; Mariano et al , 2012; Pandey, 2012; Wang et al , 2012; Shakya and Flinn, 1985), but few studies addressing this issue in Vietnam (Duong and Thanh, 2019; Nguyen, 2020). However, while most of the previous studies have focused on farmers' decisions of whether to adopt the modern rice varieties, there have been limited studies on their decisions in two stages, including the probability and intensity of adoption, with the exception of extant studies examining the two-stage decisions on the adoption of improved rice varieties (Nonvide, 2020), and maize or pigeonpea varieties (Ghimire and Huang, 2015; Amare et al , 2012; Langyintuo and Mungoma, 2008; Shiferaw et al , 2008).…”

PurposeThis article aims to examine the determinants of farmers' decisions on the adoption of modern rice varieties in two stages, including whether to adopt and, if so, how much to adopt.Design/methodology/approachThe Double-Hurdle and Tobit models are applied to determine whether farmers make their two-stage decisions separately or simultaneously.FindingsThe findings reveal that farmers make their decisions on the probability of adoption and the intensity of adoption separately. Ethnicity, agricultural labor, land, rice production asset and non-farm self-employment are determinants of the farmers' decision on the adoption of modern rice varieties in both stages. Previous adoption, gender and an irrigation program only have a significant effect on the farmers' probability of adoption, while the market only significantly explains the farmers' decision on the intensity of adoption.Research limitations/implicationsDue to the unavailability of data, this article does not include the attributes of the rice varieties or farmers' perception about the varieties in the model.Originality/valueThe uniqueness of this research is that it attempts to examine the determinants of farmers' two-stage decisions on whether to adopt and how much to adopt the modern rice varieties by application of the Double-Hurdle method.
