This paper takes advantage of a randomized controlled experiment in which farmers educated on a new rice cultivation approach educate two other farmers. The benefits demonstrate that the intervention increases yields and farm earnings between handled farmers. Trainer-trainees are productive at spreading know-how and inducing adoption relative to just teaching. Incentivizing teacher-trainees improves know-how transmission but not adoption. Matching teacher-trainees with farmers who checklist them as part designs does not increase know-how transmission and may perhaps hurt adoption. Making use of mediation evaluation, the study finds that the know-how of the teacher-trainee is correlated with that of their pupils, consistent with know-how transmission. The paper also finds that units of rice intensification (SRI) know-how predicts adoption of some SRI tactics, and that adoption by teacher-trainees predicts adoption by their pupils, suggesting that pupils abide by the illustration of their teacher. With price-benefit estimates of social returns in excess of 100 percent, explicitly mobilizing peer-to-peer (P2P) transmission of know-how looks a price-productive way of inducing the adoption of new worthwhile agricultural tactics.
