(Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1995) Ranjay Kumar Singh; R. P. Singh "Ratan "
The finding arrived at the following conclusions: 1. There was no significant difference in the mean age, education, size of holding, social participation, social – economic status and risk orientation of demonstration and participation farmers. 2. The demonstrating farmers had significantly higher level of knowledge about package of practices of linseed than those of the participating farmers. 3. The demonstrating farmers had slightly more favourable attitudes towards linseed production technology than the participating farmers; however the difference was not significant. 4. A relatively large percentage of demonstrating farmers had adopted different components of package of practices than the participating farmers. 5. The extent of adoption of package of practices of linseed for demonstrating farmers was higher than the participating farmers. 6. The social –personal and economic characteristics, namely, education, socio- economic status, social participation, risk orientation and knowledge about production technology of linseed were positively and significantly correlated with adoption of package of practices of linseed. 7. High cost of inputs, unavailability of inputs on time and lack of knowledge and facilities were important reason for partial / non – adaptation of package of practices of linseed.
