Based on a series of intensive farm household survey conducted in three villages in Malaysia, two villages in Southern Thailand, and three villages in the Philippines, this study aimed at the clarification of farm-level problems associated with the introduction and impact of new rice technology. It was found that the level of technological innovation varied considerably from country to country and from area to area within a country, reflecting diverse conditions in ecology, climate and socioeconomy. It seemed important to prepare varying technological choice, from which an individual farmer may select most appropriate one, rather than trying to disseminate a fixed package of technology. Individual farmers were considered to regard rice farming as only one of their diversifed sources of income, and in this senses, the principle of their economic behaviour appeared to be the maximization of farm household income rathern than the maximization of profit or the search for most efficient rice farm management.

基于一系列密集的农户调查，在马来西亚的三个村庄，泰国南部的两个村庄，在菲律宾的三个村庄，本研究旨在澄清与引进新的水稻技术和影响的农场层面的问题。研究发现，技术创新水平因国家和地区而异，反映了生态、气候和社会经济的不同条件。似乎重要的是准备各种技术选择，农民个人可以从中选择最合适的技术，而不是试图传播一套固定的技术。个体农民认为，水稻种植只是其收入的多样化来源之一，从这个意义上说，他们的经济行为的原则似乎是农户收入的最大化，而不是利润的最大化或寻求最有效的水稻农场管理。
