• User Acceptability of Sustainable Soil Fertility Technologies: Lessons from Farmers' Knowledge, Attitude and Practice in Southern Africa (2007, background): “According to Ajayi et al. (2003), adoption of agroforestry could be regarded as a continuum in which individual farmers are conceptualized to occupy positions in the adoption continuum depending on the extent to which they have taken up various components of the technology.”
• Adoption of renewable soil fertility replenishment technologies in the southern African region: Lessons learnt and the way forward (2007, background): “Several authors have argued that there is potential for these two sources to complement each other and take advantage of the synergies between them (Akinnifesi et al. , 2007; Haggblade and Tembo, 2003; Ajayi et al. , 2003; Palm et al., 1997; Kumwenda et al., 1996).”
• Socio-economic factors influencing adoption of improved fallow practices among smallholder farmers in western Tanzania (2008, background): “Similar study carried out in Zambia revealed that the major constraints to planting an improved fallow were lack of awareness, lack of seeds/seedlings; and unwillingness to wait for two years before realizing of the benefits of the technology (Ajayi et al., 2003).”
• Adoption and impact of agricultural technologies on farm income: evidence from Southern Tigray, Northern Ethiopia. (2014, methodology): “According to Ajayi et al.(2003), Gemeda et al.”
• Climate-smart agriculture: smallholder adoption and implications for climate change adaptation and mitigation (2011, background): “One of the key constraints to widespread adoption identified in the literature is the availability of a range of suitable tree and bush seedlings and seeds (Ajayi et al. 2003, 2007; Franzel et al. 2004; Phiri et al. 2004; Place et al. 2004; Place and Dewees 1999).”
