This paper makes use of a randomized controlled experiment in which farmers properly trained on a new rice cultivation technique instruct two other farmers. The effects display that the intervention increases yields and farm profits amongst taken care of farmers. Trainer-trainees are productive at spreading expertise and inducing adoption relative to just training. Incentivizing trainer-trainees increases expertise transmission but not adoption. Matching trainer-trainees with farmers who listing them as function styles does not increase expertise transmission and may possibly hurt adoption. Using mediation examination, the analyze finds that the expertise of the trainer-trainee is correlated with that of their pupils, steady with expertise transmission. The paper also finds that units of rice intensification (SRI) expertise predicts adoption of some SRI techniques, and that adoption by trainer-trainees predicts adoption by their pupils, suggesting that pupils abide by the illustration of their trainer. With cost-advantage estimates of social returns in excess of a hundred p.c, explicitly mobilizing peer-to-peer (P2P) transmission of expertise appears a cost-productive way of inducing the adoption of new successful agricultural techniques.
