Abstract

Field research stations in Ghana are pivotal for agriculture development. However, their effectiveness in measuring adoption rates through quasi-experimental designs remains under scrutiny. A quasi-experimental study was conducted with a sample size of 150 farmers across five regions. Data collection included pre- and post-study surveys, utilising logistic regression analysis for model estimation. The results indicate that the majority (67%) of farmers adopted recommended agricultural practices within six months post-station intervention. The findings support the use of quasi-experimental designs in measuring adoption rates effectively. Further research should explore long-term effects and incorporate qualitative feedback to enhance station design and impact evaluation. The empirical specification follows $Y=\beta_0+\beta^\top X+\varepsilon$, and inference is reported with uncertainty-aware statistical criteria.
