Note: A = improved agronomic practices, C = soil and water conservation practices, D = drought tolerant high yielding crop variety, I = small scale irrigation, P = integrated disease, pest & weed management and S = integrated soil fertility management.

∗∗∗, ∗∗, and ∗ indicate statistical significance at 1%, 5% and 10%, respectively. Rho represents correlation between CSA practices.
