| Summary: | The study is based on a narrative review approach using published sources in the area of agricultural technology adoption. Despite many improved varieties and agronomic practices have been released and recommended to the farmers, the adoption of these technologies remained below the expected figure. Hence it is pertinent to understand factors affecting wheat technology adoption in Ethiopia. Factors such as, Age of the farmer, farmers’ learning and experience, family labor, field days, Sex, total active household labor in man equivalent, access to credit, livestock ownership, education of household head, trainings, demonstrations, extension contact, mass media, farm income, farm size and, access to all weather roads and market distance positively and significantly affect adoption of wheat by smallholder farmers. Therefore, measures such as, establishing better input supply, developing agricultural information system and availing farm machineries should be taken to overcome the above constraints of wheat technology adoption.
