Abstract
Out of the 125 farmers randomly selected for the study, 77 farmers were
progressive and 48 farmers were less progressive with the adoption score ranging
from 78.60 and above and less than 78.60 respectively, who were considered to be
high and low adopters. Regarding their socio-economic characteristics, none was
found to be related with their extent of adoption, which may be due to their progressiveness.
However, farmers in this area were high risk bearers. They had
average perception on the profit in cultivating high yielding variety of paddy.
