%X Mineral fertilisation by microdosing has been tested in Burkina Faso since 2000 to increase the agricultural productivity of small farmers. In order to identify the determinants of its adoption, data were collected from a random sample of 180 women and 440 men in the provinces of Zondoma and Kourittenga in Burkina Faso; where the innovation was disseminated. The results of the Logit model showed that the determinants of adoption varied according to gender and production area. In Kourittenga, warrantage (inventory credit system) system determined the choice by women, whereas that by men depended on warrantage and dissemination tools. In Zondoma, in addition to access to information on mineral fertilisation by microdosing on which the choices of each type of farmer were dependent, education level and belonging to a farmer organisation determined the choice of men and women, respectively. These results challenged policy decision makers to strengthen socio-economic and institutional capacities for effective adoption of mineral fertilisation microdosing technique in order to sustainably improve the food situation of Sahelian small farmers. La fertilisation min¨¦rale par microdose a ¨¦t¨¦ test¨¦e au Burkina Faso depuis 2000 en vue d¡¯accroitre la productivit¨¦ agricole des petits producteurs. Afin de promouvoir son adoption ¨¤ grande ¨¦chelle, des informations ont ¨¦t¨¦ collect¨¦es aupr¨¨s d¡¯un ¨¦chantillon de 180 femmes et 440 hommes choisis de fa£¿on al¨¦atoire dans les provinces du Zondoma et du Kourittenga o¨´ l¡¯innovation a ¨¦t¨¦ diffus¨¦e afin d¡¯identifier les d¨¦terminants de son adoption. Les r¨¦sultats du mod¨¨le Logit indiquent que les d¨¦terminants d¡¯adoption varient partiellement selon le genre et les zones. Au Kourittenga, le warrantage d¨¦termine le choix des femmes or celui des hommes d¨¦pend ¨¤ la fois du warrantage et des outils de diss¨¦mination. Au Zondoma, en plus de l¡¯acc¨¨s ¨¤ l¡¯information, d¨¦terminant chez les deux types de producteur, le niveau d¡¯instruction et l¡¯appartenance ¨¤ une organisation paysanne d¨¦terminent respectivement le choix des hommes et des femmes. Ces r¨¦sultats interpellent les d¨¦cideurs politiques ¨¤ un renforcement des capacit¨¦s socio-¨¦conomiques et institutionnelles pour une adoption effective de la microdose afin d¡¯am¨¦liorer durablement la situation alimentaire des producteurs sah¨¦liens
