    A STUDY ON THE EXTENT OF ADOPTION OF RECOMMENDED SUGARCANE CULTIVATION TECHNOLOGY IN ROHTAK DISTRICT OF HARYANA STATE
    (AAU, Anand, 1987) JAIN, MOHINDER KUMAR; Patel, K. F.
    Sugarcane is one of the most important food-cum-cash crops of our country. With the significant advancement in the field of agriculture and several efforts made by various agencies to carry new technologies to the farmers fields, our goal of self sufficiency in production has not yet been achieved. This is due to the fact that a wide gap still exists between available technology and its ultimate adopters and low adoption of technology by the farmers due to several adoption problems. Hence, the present study entitled "A study on the extent of adoption of recommended sugarcane cultivation technology in Rohtak district of Haryana state" was conducted to know some of the factors which effect the adoption.
