La muestra (n=106) se dividió en productores que hacen uso de la innovación (Grupo 1, n= 55) y en productores que no la usan (Grupo 2, n= 51). Los datos se analizaron con la prueba de Mann Withney y la Teoría del Comportamiento Planeado. El uso de praderas cultivadas se vio influenciado por las variables que describen al productor y a la unidad de producción, como se observó en el Grupo 1. Este grupo presentó una mayor proporción de productores (60 %) que indicaron una intención positiva para usar praderas cultivadas, comparado con el 36 % de los productores del Grupo 2. Los productores de ambos grupos percibieron de forma similar la utilidad e importancia del uso de praderas cultivadas; sin embargo, la intención de los productores del Grupo 1 presentó una correlación significativa (P&lt;0.05) con ambas. Otros factores que influyeron en el uso de praderas cultivadas fueron las creencias positivas, referentes sociales y las dificultades percibidas de la innovación. Se concluye que el uso de praderas cultivadas estuvo influenciado por diferentes factores para cada grupo de productores.]]></p></abstract>
<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="en"><p><![CDATA[ABSTRACT: This paper identifies the socio-economic and farm variables and cognitive and social factors influencing the use of cultivated pastures by small-scale dairy farmers. A field survey was conducted. The sample was divided in two groups defined as: users (Group 1, n= 55) and non-users of the innovation (Group 2, n= 51). Data were analysed through the Mann Whitney test and the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). Socioeconomic and farm variables influenced the use of cultivated grassland, as observed in Group 1. This group showed a bigger proportion of farmers (60 %) who indicated a positive intention to use cultivated grasslands, in comparison with 36 % of farmers from Group 2. Farmers from both groups perceived similarly the utility and importance of the use of cultivated grassland; however, farmers&#8217; intention of Group 1 showed a significant correlation (P&lt;0.05) with utility and importance. Other factors influencing the use of cultivated grasslands were the positive beliefs, social referents and difficulties perceived of the innovation. It concludes that different factors influenced the use of cultivated grassland in each group.]]></p></abstract>
