The communication networks among 173 rice-mungbean farmers in two rural villages (rainfed and irrigated) in Pangasinan were analyzed and related to their adoption of improved rice-mungbean technology. The incorporation of network variables with nonnetwork variables (e.g., socio-economic, agricultural, etc.) greatly contributed to understanding the significantly higher adoption in Nancayasan compared to Carosucan. The Nancayasan farmers had significantly higher spatial distance scores, or they interacted with more dispersed farmers within the village, and had higher betweenness centrality scores or there were more information 'brokers' or liaisons that mediated agricultural information flow in the village. Nancayasan is ~so near the Urdaneta market where farmers actively seek vital market information and supply of new varieties from market traders. The blockmodelling analysis vividly highlighted shortcomings of the diffusionist paradigm's concept of information flow, from innovators leaders to others throughout the community. Results revealed the potential disadvantage of groups of farmer cooperators turning into a Subject Added Entry - Topical Term Science and technology   Social sciences   Mungbean varieties   Rice-mungbean technology   Rain-fed based farms   Technology adaption   Blockmodelling analysis   Social network analysis           Physical Location           Digital Copy Not Available          Add to Book Cart  |   Download MARC
