Summary : Results of the path analysis showed that yield was significantly influenced by capital in monetary terms, land, monitoring and evaluation while income was found to be highly influenced by capital, land area, market assistance, and cost of inputs. Significant determinants of access to social services were educational attainment, market characteristics, technology promotion, and credit. Additional capital borrowed, household size, monitoring and evaluation, and capital significantly influenced enterpreneural capability. Length of years as cooperator was the primary factor that influenced ownership of land, equipment, and facilties. Among the independent variables, membership in a soybean organization and leadership significantly contributed to the management of resources. Educational attainment and promotion of environmental concepts provided significant contributions to environmental consciousness. Attitude enhancement toward the soybean program was highly influenced by leadership attendance to meetings and other program-related activities, participation in planning and decision-making, technology promotion, and cropping pattern while credit assistance significantly contributed to the total variability for need/satisfaction of the respondent. Recommendations based on the findings of the study are presented and may serve as building blocks for planners and policymakers in formulating and implementing strategies for other community-based technology-driven developmental interventions.
