The poor distribution and adoption of agricultural innovation products, in particular improved seeds, fertilizers and powdered and liquid phytosanitary treatments motivates us to identify the determining factors of the adoption of these four forms of agricultural intensification. Using data from the 2018-2019 Permanent Agricultural Survey of the Ministry of Agriculture of Burkina Faso, the study used a logit model with spline function to conduct the analysis of the determining factors. Indeed, we have come to the conclusion that the determinant factors of the adoption of these four forms of agricultural intensification in the context of Burkina Faso are three types. We have economic factors such as cultivated area, access to land, level of soil degradation, income-generating activities and animal ownership. We have also, socio-demographic factors such as the level of education of the head of household, the gender of the head of household, the age of the head of household and the household size. And the institutional factors such as access to agricultural credit and membership of a farmers’ organization. The results obtained could be used in public strategies aimed at increasing the rate of diffusion of innovation and improving the well-being of households in Burkina Faso.
