Abstract
Organic farming is a type of farming that avoids or limits the use of synthetic
fertilizers, pesticides, growth regulators, and livestock feed additives. Adapting organic
farming without jeopardizing agricultural production would seem to be the logical solution.
Fertilizers, insecticides, growth regulators, and livestock feed additives are all avoided or
limited in organic farming. Organic farming is practiced by many farmers in the state.
When a farmer decides to go organic, he or she is faced with a slew of issues about how to
make organic farming profitable. Despite the rising prospects in the field of organic
farming, little research has been done on the, knowledge, and attitudes of organic farming
practiceners.
It is observed that the independent variables age, education, family type,
landholding, annual income, social participation, farming experience, extension contact,
and scientific orientation had positive and significant relationship with the knowledge of
farmers about organic farming. It also observed that the independent variables education,
land holding, occupation, social participation, extension contact and scientific orientation
had positive and significant relationship with the attitude of farmers about organic farming.
The independent variables age, education, landholding, annual income, social participation,
farming experience, and scientific orientation had positive and significant relationship with
the perception.
Findings related to level of knowledge, level of attitude and level of perception
shows that organic farming practitioners had medium level of knowledge and perception
they had favorable attitude towards organic farming. It can be said that there is wide scope
to increase the level of knowledge among the organic farming followers by developing and
implementing specific extension strategy.
