Adoption of improved groundnut production technologies is an important avenue for increasing productivity and improving the living standard of farmers. This study seeks to analyze technology adoption and output difference among groundnut farmers in Northern Ghana. The study used primary and cross-sectional data from 250 groundnut farmers. The Probit regression model and t test were used to analyze the objectives of this study. Results of the study reveals that while household size, distance to district capital, farmer-based organization, and access to credit significantly affects adoption of improved groundnut varieties (IGV), only household size and distance to district capital affected the adoption of agrochemical in production. Also, apart from extension and education which affect adoption of mobile phone, factors such as sex, marital status, distance to district capital, household size, farmer-based organization (FBO), and access to credit significantly influenced the adoption of mechanization and mobile phone, respectively. The study revealed that the average output level of adopters of these improved groundnut technologies was relatively higher than non-adopters. The study recommends that projects/programs and policies related to the introduction and dissemination of improved groundnut production technologies in northern Ghana should draw lessons from studies like this to ensure improved technology uptake.

采用改良的花生生产技术是提高生产力和改善农民生活水平的重要途径。本研究旨在分析加纳北部花生农民之间的技术采用和产出差异。该研究使用了250名花生农的主要数据和横截面数据。Probit回归模型和t测试被用来分析这项研究的目标。研究结果表明，虽然家庭规模，与区域资本的距离，以农民为基础的组织以及获得信贷的机会显着影响改良花生品种（IGV）的采用，但只有家庭规模和与区域资本的距离会影响生产中农用化学品的采用。此外，除了影响手机使用的推广和教育外，性别，婚姻状况，与地区首都的距离，家庭规模，农民组织（FBO）以及获得信贷等因素也极大地影响了机械化和手机的采用手机。研究显示，采用这些改良花生技术的使用者的平均产出水平相对高于不采用花生技术的人。
