发展机构热情地推广微滴灌作为一种负担得起的节水和省力的设备，但大多数农民一旦发展项目结束就停止使用它。本文分析了为什么农民从事推广滴灌套件的项目，即使他们似乎对它们的节水和省力属性不感兴趣。我们结合联合收割机的创新实践为基础的理论与发展人类学的见解，解释在发展项目的舞台上，微滴套件有不同的意义，农民比促进技术的演员。接受这项技术只是农民从发展项目中获益的更广泛战略努力的一个要素。因此，在发展项目的竞技场和对农民来说，微滴袋的定义是其引入带来的附带好处，如机动水泵、免费投入、信贷承诺或获得社会声望和建立新联盟的前景。接收日期：2014年12月9日接受日期：2015年10月13日
Development agencies enthusiastically promote micro-drip irrigation as an affordable water and labor-saving device, yet most farmers stop using it as soon as development projects end. This article analyzes why farmers engage in projects promoting drip irrigation kits, even though they appear not to be interested in their water and labor-saving attributes. We combine practice-based theories of innovation with insights from the anthropology of development to explain that in development project arenas, micro-drip kits have different meanings for farmers than for the actors promoting the technology. Accepting the technology is just one element of more encompassing strategic efforts by farmers to obtain benefits from development projects. Hence, in the arena of the development project and for farmers, micro-drip kits are defined by the side benefits that accompany their introduction, such as motorized pumps, free inputs, the promise of credit, or the prospect of acquiring social prestige and forging new alliances.
