Abstract: In this study, we focus on learning determinants of farm cooperation in irrigation by answering main researchquestion that “what are the factors influencing farmers’ decision to cooperate in irrigation?”. We use probit model, whichis the one of the binary decision models, to estimate cooperation. The findings suggest that education level of farm managersmatters in farmers’ cooperation decision. Our model results show that if a farmer took own initiatives in participationin informal labor mobilization (hashar) and informal agreements with households and other farmers, it has a positive associationwith irrigation cooperation. Cotton-growing farmers in Samarkand province are less likely to cooperate in waterallocation decisions with other water users.
