This paper utilizes a randomized managed experiment in which farmers skilled on a new rice cultivation technique teach two other farmers. The outcomes present that the intervention increases yields and farm earnings among addressed farmers. Teacher-trainees are powerful at spreading know-how and inducing adoption relative to just instruction. Incentivizing trainer-trainees enhances know-how transmission but not adoption. Matching trainer-trainees with farmers who list them as position types does not increase know-how transmission and may perhaps hurt adoption. Using mediation investigation, the review finds that the know-how of the trainer-trainee is correlated with that of their college students, steady with know-how transmission. The paper also finds that methods of rice intensification (SRI) know-how predicts adoption of some SRI techniques, and that adoption by trainer-trainees predicts adoption by their college students, suggesting that college students abide by the instance of their trainer. With value-gain estimates of social returns in surplus of a hundred %, explicitly mobilizing peer-to-peer (P2P) transmission of know-how looks a value-powerful way of inducing the adoption of new lucrative agricultural techniques.
