Descripción
This study presents a comparative evaluation among farmers
vs. small, medium and large enterprises perceptions of the Senador Nilo
Coelho and Maria Teresa Irrigated Perimeters in the São Francisco Valley
on the adoption of water saving irrigation technologies. The evaluation
is carried on by interviewing producers in a field study. All obtained
information in questions related to installation and maintenance costs
and productivity of the adopted technologies by producers and other
available technologies were used to obtain the results presented in this
study. Results show that there is some utilization among entrepreneurs
of modern irrigation systems. However, adoption rates are low and the
knowledge is not present among all producers. For such farmers, the
utilization of inadequate irrigation systems is more frequent thus engen-dering in productive inefficiency among farmers.
