Trial Title Farmer experimentation is a public good. Experimental evidence on approaches to facilitate village-level learning about new maize seed varieties in Kenya. Experimenting for self and for others: farmer experimentation as a public good
Last Published September 04, 2023 06:51 AM November 30, 2023 02:18 AM
Primary Outcomes (End Points) • Adherence to experimental recommendations (for trial hosts in treated villages) • Willingness to experiment with new varieties • Village level social learning about experimental varieties and spillovers of information • Perceptions about new varieties (vis-à-vis old known ones) on performance, quality and production costs • Awareness and exposure to the specific varieties used in the study (experimental varieties) • Varietal switching – from old well known to new promising varieties. Measured as 1) Proportion of planted varieties that are new, 2) Proportion of maize area cultivated with new varieties, and 3) Weighted average age of varieties planted by a household. • Expected yield distributions for new varieties vis-à-vis established ones (status quo) • Willingness to experiment with new varieties • Varietal switching – from old well known to newer varieties. Measured as 1) Proportion of planted varieties that are new, 2) Proportion of maize area cultivated with new varieties, and 3) Weighted average age of varieties planted by a household. • Awareness and exposure to the specific varieties used in the study (experimental varieties)
Public analysis plan No Yes
Secondary Outcomes (End Points) • Adherence to experimental recommendations (for trial hosts in treated villages) • trial hosts dissemination of experimental process and results • Perceptions about new varieties (vis-à-vis old known ones) on performance, quality and production costs • Expected yield distributions for new varieties vis-à-vis established ones (status quo)
