curbing, began to adopt the same technological approach after
they saw the benefits which the new techniques offered their
own potential for capital accumulation.
In the Jordan Valley the combined efforts of the aid
agencies, large landowners and merchants in implementing the
process of technological transfer led to a virtual agrarian
revolution in the late-1970's. This radical change was
largely bio-chemically based and augmented by plastic water
conservation systems. HYV's with saline resistent properties
replaced older plant strains and inorganic fertilizers and
insecticides were also widely introduced at this time. The
improvements which occurred can be classified as a vegetable
crop variation of the field crop based "Green Revolution"
which swept through South-East Asia and Latin America in the
mid-1960's and early-1970's. This revolution was based on
HYV's of rice and wheat and augmented by forms of
intermediate technology. (27)
These innovations as they were applied in the Jordan Valley
involved a substantial changeover from the furrow irrigation
system to the drip irrigation system. The affect was to alter
considerably both the social and sexual division of labour on
all forms of family farm in the north Jordan Valley. Some of
these changes are due directly to the drip irrigation
technology itself, e.g. some of the tasks of irrigation and
fertilization are now semi-automatic and partially
incorporated into the drip irrigation system, other labour
tasks have changed because the introduction of drip
irrigation has been accompanied to a large degree by
