Results of partial and multivariate analyses indicate that road quality and increase in market accessibility have significant effect on fertiliser use. Similarly, the use of fertiliser has a strong and significant effect on potato yield. These findings demonstrate that improvement in road quality influences potato yield through increased fertiliser use. Farmers in areas served by high quality roads applied more fertiliser per acre than those in areas served by medium and low quality roads. These findings suggest that improving the quality of rural roads can induce farmers to invest more on fertiliser thus creating the basis for growth in agricultural...
