1) A correct and proven technology: a working group involving researchers and extension agents formulate technology packages in a simple fashion which will be put into practice after analysing the research findings of a particular crop.
2) Selectivity and concentration: in view of the scarcity of the production inputs, such as seeds,fertilizers and pesticides, selective concentrated townships are located in areas offering the most promising returns. As well as competent extension agents and subject matter specialists are selected so that they can concentrate their efforts on the program operation efficiently and effectively.
3) Governmental support and leadership: this plays a key role because the program to be
implemented is a centralized diffusion system. For the program to run smoothly, the government at each level provides supportive measures as well as leadership.
4) Community organization and people involvement: the agricultural management committee
formed at all levels (divisions, townships, village tracts and villages). The members areresponsible for both giving the advice and implementing the program. The people involvement activities are collective ploughing, collective harrowing and collective transplanting.
