Determinants of Broad Bad Maker Technology Adoption in Vertisol: in the Case of Bahir Dar Zuria Woreda, West Gojam Zone of Amhara Regional State, Ethiopia Yibekal Dinku Woreta

The evidence gained from the research MBBM Technology adopters benefited from the innovation compared to traditional practices as pertinent, including better drainage and the opportunity to grow a second crop or enhance double cropping. A major innovation related to the BBM Technology has been the construction of ponds for collecting and storing the water drained from the fields using the BBM Technology. The water is also used to grow irrigated vegetable crops and herbs such as onions, cabbage, garlic, and fenugreek. The impacts from having the technology is that crop diversification, spring improvement via seepage, and reduction of erosion and flooding.
