AbstractIncreases in population density lead to lower farm sizes which have major implications for agriculturalintensification. Farmers in the Kembata Tambaro Zone are widely practicing crop intensification throughintensive use of improved seed and chemical fertilizer. However, crop intensification is determined by differentfactors in the study area. Thus, the aim of this study is to identify the potential determinants of cerealintensification in KTZ. The data were collected from both primary and secondary sources through personalinterview using structured questionnaire.
