520 _aIn 1997, a survey of 144 small-scale wheat farmers was conducted in Adaba and Dodola woredas of Bale highlands in Ethiopia. The objective of the study was to determine the technical and socio-economic factors affecting adoption of improved wheat technologies. About 42% of the farmers grew improved wheat varieties. The adopters (92%) applied significantly more chemical fertilizer than the nonadopters- (72%). The adopters applied about 75 kg/ha of DAP and 36 kg/ha of urea, while the nonadopters applied about 48 kg/ha of DAP and 6 kg/ha of urea. The logistic regression model showed that credit for buying improved seeds and livestock ownership had positive and significant effects on probability of adopting improved wheat varieties. Credit for buying fertilizer, area under linseed, and use of hired labor significantly influenced farmers' decision to use fertilizer .
