English for Agricultural Science Farmers’ Adoption of Improved Technological Knowledge on Soybean Production in Northern Shan State Area, Myanmar Mr. CHHEN CHIN http://taunggyistar.blogspot.com/ English for Agricultural Science
Presentation Out-line Introduction Methodology Experimental design Result Conclusion Reference http://www.buffalobow.com/sakda17FollowUpSoybeanMyanmar.html
Introduction Soybean was grown in Myanmar for local consumption in former times. In the 1970s, there was low production and also low yield due to the growing of a local cultivar which was thermo-and photo-sensitive. http://www.buffalobow.com/sakda17FollowUpSoybeanMyanmar.html
Methodology Six target areas out of 34 were selected with a population of 6,436 soybean farmers, and resulting in 377 samples. http://www.buffalobow.com/sakda17FollowUpSoybeanMyanmar.html
Data collection procedure - Stratified random sampling Experimental design Data collection procedure - Stratified random sampling - was calculated using the method of Yamane (1973). http://www.brecorder.com/markets/commodities/america/23426-us-soybeans-rise-second-day-on-production-jitters.html

Improved soybean production technologies Table 1 Adoption of improved soybean production technologies of the sample farmers Improved soybean production technologies Adoption of improved soybean production technologies Adoption Non adoption % Use of improved varieties 51.46 48.54 Soil fertility management practices 20.95 79.05 Nutrient management practices 13.79 86.21 Improved cultural practices 39.26 60.74 Plant protection methods -weed control 19.40 80.60 -Pest/diseases control 24.69 75.31
CONCLUSION Farmer’s adoption of improved soybean production technologies was less than 50 percent except for improved varieties. http://www.buffalobow.com/sakda16DemonstrateSoybeanMyanmar.html
