Abstract

Background: The adoption of agricultural technology contributes a vital role in increasing the use and profitability of agricultural resources.Strategic commodities, such as onions, should receive special attention in technology development to increase production to support the Indonesian economy. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of using AMOS in discussing technology adoption in onion cultivation. Methods: The research method was carried out using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach, with the solution using the Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS).The research was conducted in the Provinces of South Sulawesi and East Java, focusing on Enrekang Regency, South Sulawesi Province and Nganjuk Regency, East Java Province, each covering two sub-districts, resulting in a total of four sub-districts. Result: The results showed that onion farmers in South Sulawesi and East Java were relatively more adaptive to adopting agricultural technology, as indicated by the hypothesis testing results.The CR values for H1 was 0.043 and H2 -0.041.
