Abstract
This article describes the adoption and diffusion of a nitrogen testing innovation as a result of an Extension education program. Focus groups and a mail survey provided feedback and information about factors and information sources that described the adoption process. Farmers indicated that Extension agents' attitudes and economic factors impacted their adoption decisions. Results also indicated farmers lacked knowledge and skills to make an informed adoption decision. Future educational programs should include information relating to the economic and technical aspects of an innovation to enhance a farmer's adoption decision.
