Abstract

The management of nutrients presents a significant challenge for farmers and is a matter of concern for environmentalists. The key issue doesn’t lie in innovation but in the diffusion of technology among agricultural practitioners. Developed by international fertilizer development corporations, Urea Deep Placement (UDP) technology represents an innovative approach to rice cultivation. Its primary objective is to address the issue of nitrogen loss and enhance the utilization efficiency of urea. UDP modifies the method and placement of urea to optimize its effectiveness and minimize environmental impacts. This study employs a two-stage treatment effect model to investigate the following questions: which are the aspects that influence the adoption of UDP technology in rice cultivation? and how does the implementation of this technology impact rice yield? Critical factors influencing adoption include land tenure, gender, extension services, non-agricultural income, affiliation with farming groups and participation in training, guaranteed risk mitigation, and access to irrigation. Furthermore, farm size and the adoption of UDP significantly affect rice production. Beyond the economic advantages of adopting this technology, it also generates job opportunities in the manufacture of urea briquettes and their application. The use of urea briquettes curtails chemical runoff and water pollution. The embrace of UDP technology has concurrently spurred farmers to adopt mechanization and improve water management and distribution in rice fields.
