    AWARENESS, ATTITUDE AND ADOPTION TOWARDS CARBON SEQUESTRATION TECHNOLOGIES IN RICE AND SUGARCANE BASED FARMING SYSTEM
    (UNIVERSITY OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES GKVK, BENGALURU, 2017-10-27) SURESH, D. K.; Shivamurthy, M.
    The present investigation was carried out to assess Awareness, Attitude and Adoption of carbon sequestration technologies in Rice and Sugarcane based farming system. One hundred eighty farmers practicing rice and sugarcane based farming system were randomly selected from Maddur, Mandya, Nanjanagoodu, T. Narasipura, Kollegala and Yelandur taluks of Mandya, Mysore and Chamarajanagar districts. Results revealed that, 37.78 per cent of the farmers were having favorable attitude towards carbon sequestration technologies and 40.00 per cent of them were moderately aware about the carbon sequestration technologies in rice and sugarcane based farming system, where as with respect to adoption only 42.22 per cent of the farmers have moderately adopted carbon sequestration technologies. Correlation analysis indicated the profile characters viz., education, occupation, land holdings, annual income, mass media exposure, scientific orientation, Risk orientation, Farming experience and innovative proneness had a positive and significant relationship at one per cent level; Similarly, age, Extension contact, Management orientation and Cosmopoliteness had positive and significant relationship with attitude towards carbon sequestration technologies at five per cent level. The R2 value indicated that all the 19 independent variables had contributed to the tune of 69.00 per cent of variation in attitude of farmers towards carbon sequestration technologies. While adoption of carbon sequestration technologies, low price for the produce and nonavailability of labors were the top most constraints expressed by the farmers and they also suggested that, RSK’s should ensure supplying of critical inputs at appropriate time in the villages and increasing subsidies on micro irrigation structures beside giving support price based on cost of cultivation were the major suggestions expressed by farmers.
