Abstract:
The research aimed to study the most important factors influencing wheat farmers’ adoption of a set of modern technologies provided to them by the Food Security Project, which are: tillage technology, wheat variety Research 37, wheat variety Sheba, wheat variety Research 13, seed quantity, and the recommended harvesting technology, in Dhamar and Ibb governorates of the Republic of Yemen for the 2021-2022 season. The study relied on descriptive and quantitative analysis in processing the data, and the correlations between various variables were analyzed using Pearson’s coefficient. The results of the significance analysis showed that there is a positive, statistically significant correlation between: educational level, marital status, degree of communication with agricultural extension, ownership of animals, ownership of agricultural machinery and equipment, and the degree of adoption of modern agricultural techniques at the 1% and 5% level. The results are that there is a statistically significant negative correlation between: age, source of income and the degree of adoption of modern technologies at 5%. The most important recommendations were the need to the state to intervene by imposing control on agricultural input traders, exempting them from taxes, and providing a sufficient quantity of improved seeds
Key words: Crop, Classify, Quantity of seeds , Harvest.
