    abstract = {Human beings are in economic conflict with
soil biodiversity for a life struggle. The need for increased
food production to match the demand for the ever
increasing human population in Uganda has led to
agriculture intensification. This however is associated
with a high level of ecological disturbance by poor
methods of farming that upset the balance of soil
biodiversity, especially in Wakisi and Nagojje Sub
Counties. A study of 60 households in Wakisi and
Nagojje to determine factors affecting adoption of soil
biodiversity conservation measures revealed that
education and household size (number of active adults in
the household) were statistically significant for the
adoption rate. Results of the logistic regression model
showed that education predisposes farmers to new
knowledge and therefore enhances their potential to their
adoption while big households are good indicators of
labour supply which is vital in labour intensive
technologies. Researchers therefore, recommended that
farmers should be educated using practical methods to
increase literacy about technologies, government should
provide incentives to farmers and support organizations
that have shown interest in the technologies and that,
farmers should always be involved in the technology right
from the development stage in order to capture their
perceptions about new technologies.}
