This paper discusses the need for sociological diffusion research to incorporate consideration of the characteristics of agricultural technologies in relation to ecological variations in peasant agriculture. Data on the diffusion of high-yielding varieties in three micro-climates of the hills of Nepal show the location-specificity in the adaptability of new agricultural technology to different farming environments. The implications of interdependence between the environmental and social-organizational requirements of technologies for differential patterns of adoption are discussed by contrasting rates of adoption among different types of farm in one micro-climatic zone. Farmers' adoption behavior appears more or less innovative depending on the suitability of the technology for different types of farm and has an ecological basis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
