The current production system of teff cannot satisfy the consumers demand and this is due to backward agricultural mechanisms and lack of improved teff varieties. The governments of Ethiopia renew their interest on improved teff variety adoption to improve farmer’s farm productivity. There are a number of improved teff varieties invested in Ethiopia in general and in the study area in particular. However, Mnijar shenkora district is well known boset teff variety have been disseminated and adopted in the district through the help of agricultural research centers to improve teff production in the area. Investigating the determinants of improved boset teff variety adoption is important. A sample of 245 farm households was considered for socio economic survey. The collected data were analysed through descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. The descriptive statistics indicated that, there is significance difference between boset teff adopters and non-adopters. Binary logit model was applied to identify the determinants of improved boset teff variety adoption. The result indicates that improved boset teff adoption is determined by different factors. Family size, fertilizer use and farming experience was negatively associated with adoption of improved boset teff variety. In contrast, education level, cultivated farm size and access to credit were positively associated with improved boset teff variety adoption.
