• Seed, fertilizer, and agricultural extension in Ethiopia (2012, background): “Rather, they might purchase seed every 4-5 years to replace their stocks of saved seed with seed that has a higher level of purity, and thus better performance when cultivated (Doss et al. 2003).”
• Food and Agriculture in Ethiopia: Progress and Policy Challenges (2013, background): “seed that has a higher level of purity and thus better performance when cultivated (Doss et al. 2003).”
• Gender Equality, Poverty and Economic Growth (2007, background): “For example, in reviewing 22 studies of the determinants of the adoption of improved varieties and fertilizer in East Africa, Doss et al. (2003) find that extension services, in terms of frequency, appear to be the single-most important positive determinant of the adoption decision.”
• Mainstreaming Gender Sensitivity in Cash Crop Market Supply Chains (2014, background): “Access to credit, extension, and networks of adopters often determine whether a household uses such inputs (Sunding and Zilberman, 2001; The World Bank, 2007; Bandiera and Rasul. 2006; Conley and Udry, 2005, and; Doss et al., 2003).”
• The Impact of Agricultural Technologies on Poverty and Vulnerability of Smallholders in Ethiopia: A Panel Data Analysis (2020, background): “The intervention has enabled relatively higher proportions of farmers to adopt improved crop production technologies in some areas of the country (Doss et al. 2003; Mandefro et al. 2002; Tadesse and Degu 2002).”
