Abstract: The traditional cost effectiveness framework was broadened to incorporate some key motivations underlying the adoption of erosion control practices in irrigated agriculture. Selected financial factors were found to be important determinants of adoption. Failure to incorporate such factors promotes overestimation of cost effectiveness, improper ranking of BMPs, and ultimately faulty policy prescriptions.
