Produktbeschreibung
Makhathini Farmers have produced cotton for over 10 years at subsistence level despite utilizing related technology extensively; the farmers' mission remains to produce cotton at commercial level. The technology mentioned in the study is available worldwide, as well as locally. The technology accessed is readily available to the local farmers. Against the above background the research problem was formulated as: "How technology could be deployed to upcoming commercial - cotton farmers in the Makhathini region to support sustainable cotton production in this specific area. A stratified random sample was drawn from the upcoming commercial - cotton farmers based in Makhathini. To ensure representivity of data and to allow the researcher to generalize findings to upcoming commercial - cotton farmers in South Africa, factors such as farm size were considered. Representatives of 13 Famers' Associations were interviewed and a response rate of 13/13 (100%) was obtained. Cronbach's Alpha is an instrument used to measure reliability.
