    The role of farmers’ groups networks in the adoption and diffusion of selected agricultural technologies in upper Mgeta, Morogoro rural district
    (Sokoine University of Agriculture, 1998) Shenduli, Asina Ali
    The study established that farmers find the local network to be important as a technology dissemination tool, for mutual support as well as for material support. The local network influences group members to adopt different innovations at a higher level than non-group members. This has been achieved through effective communication of extension messages between farmers and change agents and among farmers themselves. Farmers who are group members are highly aware of received messages concerning the innovations. It is recommended that not only group representatives should participate in network meetings but also the other group members should be involved so that they can participate fully in the sharing and exchanging of information.
