Abstract: RORALDO, JO-B OApplied Research IV (Agricultural Science Curriculum), Don Severino Agricultural College, Indang, Cavite, March.1992. FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH THE ADOPTION OF BANANA FARMING PRACTICES IN SELECTED TOWNS OF CAVITE. Adviser: Dr. Leonora A. Mojica. This research study was conducted to ascertain the factors associated with the adoption of banana farming practices in selected towns of Cavite. A total of 300 respondents were selected using stratified random sam- pling. Personal interview with the respondents using the prepared questionnaire was done to gather the necessary data, The respondents were relatively of average age with a mean of forty-nine. less than a half of them were able to reach highschool education while more than a half (65 percent) had low income with a mean of P15,500. More than one-third of the respondents had an average years of experience in farming with a mean of twenty-six years. Majority of them had a medium size farm with a mean of 1.75 hectare while more than two-thirds owned the land that they cultivate. Findings also showed that more than a half of the respondents do not avail of credit and their income was their major source of capital. Majority of them had not attended any agricultural seminars. Adoption of banana farming practices of the respondents ranged from five to fourteen. More than a half of them had an average level of adoption of banana farming practices with a mean of nine. The correlation test showed that there was a significant positive relationship between adoption of banana farming practices and factors such as age, educational attainment, income, sources of credit and frequency of attending agricultural seminars. On the other hand, factors like experience in farming, size of farm and tenure status were found to have no relationship with adoption of banana farming practices.

This research study was conducted to ascertain the factors associated with the adoption of banana farming practices in selected towns of Cavite. A total of 300 respondents were selected using stratified random sam- pling. Personal interview with the respondents using the prepared questionnaire was done to gather the necessary data,

The respondents were relatively of average age with a mean of forty-nine. less than a half of them were able to reach highschool education while more than a half (65 percent) had low income with a mean of P15,500. More than one-third of the respondents had an average years of experience in farming with a mean of twenty-six years. Majority of them had a medium size farm with a mean of 1.75 hectare while more than two-thirds owned the land that they cultivate. Findings also showed that more than a half of the respondents do not avail of credit and their income was their major source of capital. Majority of them had not attended any agricultural seminars.

Adoption of banana farming practices of the respondents ranged from five to fourteen. More than a half of them had an average level of adoption of banana farming practices with a mean of nine.

The correlation test showed that there was a significant positive relationship between adoption of banana farming practices and factors such as age, educational attainment, income, sources of credit and frequency of attending agricultural seminars.
