dc.description.abstractThe study entitled “Adoption of Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) technologies in Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) based cropping system: Evidence from Punjab’’ was undertaken with the objectives to ascertain the extent of adoption of Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) technologies in potato based cropping system, to determine the factors affecting adoption of INM technologies and to analyze the constraints faced by farmers in the adoption of INM technologies. A total of 180 farmers were randomly selected as respondents for the study from the three agro-climatic zones namely sub-mountain undulating zone, central plain zone and western zone of Punjab state. All the farmers follow potato based cropping system. Two crop rotations were found in these agro-climatic zones viz; Paddy-Potato-Maize and Paddy-Potato-Wheat. The data was collected with help of questionnaire constructed for the respondent farmers. The findings revealed that the farmers of both the crop rotations were not applying recommended doses of manures and fertilizers in various crops. The application of zinc (micronutrient) is not recommended in potato crop by PAU but farmers were applying it. On contrary to this, the recommended timing and method of fertilizer and manure application is followed by majority of the farmers of both the rotations. Further the findings revealed that in both the crop rotations farmers were under adoption level of recommended practices of INM. Results of the binary regression analysis revealed that a positive and significant relation was found between the independent variables value orientation, risk orientation and level of extension contacts with adoption of various recommended INM practices. The findings also revealed that among the constraints production constraint, organizational constraints and economic constraints are the major ones which hinders the adoption on INM practices. It can be concluded that demonstrations should be laid down on farmer’s field and the need appraisal of farmers for adoption of Integrated Nutrient Management practices is required, so that they can decide how to manage their production as well as health of crop in a better wayen_US
