This study investigates the determinants of the adoption of irrigated wheat production technology in the North Shewa Zone of Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia. A descriptive research design was used for the study. Both a qualitative and quantitative research approach was used. The study also employed multi-stage sampling techniques and data was gathered from 384 respondents. In this case, both primary and secondary data were used. Primary data was collected from the respondents in the study. Both closed and open-ended questionnaires were used to gather information from key informants and surveys. For data analysis, descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data. As part of the investigation, a binary logistic regression was used by using Statistical Package for Social Science version 20. The data result of the study depicted that, age, family size, livestock holding, contact with extension agent, soil fertility status, distance from the water source of the farm household, and conflict of interest were statistically significant at p<0.01. The findings also revealed that access to training, access to market, and fear of risk were statistically significant factors at p<0.05. Therefore, the researchers conclude that, policies and strategies that focus on farmers’ education, well-established extension packages, linkages of farmers; - to the North Shawa Zone agricultural office and Oromia agricultural Bureau;- and other stakeholders are helpful to achieve wider adoption of irrigated wheat production technology in the study area.
