dc.description.abstractOrganic 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.
