Commonly used theories to explain this observed behavior of farm households are portfolio selection, input fixity, safety first, and learning and farmers' experimentation . The validity of these theories is empirically investigated for farm households in Bangladesh. Our empirical results show that the theory of input fixity, resulting from the lack of access to credit, is the most plausible theory to explain this observed phenomenon in Bangladesh. Farm households who have access to micro-credit institutions are found to have a higher adoption rate than those who lack access to credit. Made available in DSpace on 2015-09-25T22:47:51Z (GMT).
