| Abstract: | In this paper, use is made of the multiple regression technique in an attempt to provide explanation for the pattern of adoption
of intensive poultry farming technique — an agency and infrastructure based innovation. This paper deals with two aspects
of the diffusion. The first examines the factors of spatial pattern of adoption and the second, the adoption intensity. The
paper then turns to consider the planning implications of these factors.
In Oyo State, market factor expressed as the population size of towns, distance to agency location and from previous adopters
largely account for the spatial variation in the time of adoption of ‘modern’ poultry farming technique. The intensity of
adoption (poultry population) on the other hand is influenced by the number of adopters, distance to infrastructure, profitability
considerations, literacy factor and the time of adoption. |
