This paper uses household- and plot-level data to test whether there are systematic gender
differences in the adoption of joint sustainable intensification practices in Kenya. Using a
multivariate probit model, we find that gender differences in the adoption of some
technologies do exist. Women plot managers are more likely to adopt maize-legume
intercropping, but less likely to adopt minimum tillage and apply animal manure relative to
male plot managers. However, we find no gender differences for adoption of maize-legume
rotation, improved seed varieties, and application of inorganic fertilizer. The results further
show that the adoptions of agricultural technologies are strongly influenced by plot
characteristics and household factors such as plot size, plot ownership, soil fertility, extension
service, access to credit, and age.
