dc.description.abstractThe present study was undertaken in two purposively selected districts, namely Sonipat and Hisar of Haryana state with the specific objectives (1) To study the prospects of organic farming (2) To assess the constraints in adoption of organic farming and (3) To develop a suitable strategy for promotion of organic farming. A total one hundred twenty farmers were selected and interviewed with the help of well structured schedule. The interview schedule was divided into three parts i.e. profile of the respondents, prospects of organic farming and constraints in adoption of organic farming. The study revealed that majority of the farmers were of middle age group (36-50 years), educated up to matric, belonged to joint family with 4-6 members, performed only farming and had land holding up to 5 acres. The present study shows that more than four third of growers of organic farming perceived it as more bright level of prospects .However, the few of them were perceived it as somewhat bright level prospect .Thus to promote organic farming, government should make policies and plan training and educational modules for farmers, to ensure balanced agricultural development by adopting the technique and practices of organic farming and to improved market infrastructure for organic foods and the availability of quality bio pesticides to farmers can help in adoption of organic farming. The finding regarding farmers’ perception about input constraints in adoption of organic farming show that Lack of knowledge and demand of bio pesticides (90.8%) was ranked first, the results regarding perception about technical constraints in adopting of organic farming reveals that non availability of improved organic production technology and Lack of knowledge about weed management practices in organic farming were ranked first (94.2 percent), the finding regarding farmers perception about marketing and economic constraints in adoption of organic farming show that No separate market for organic produces and Weak marketing network /sale point both were ranked first with highest weight mean score (360).100 percent of the respondents had perceived it as most serious constraint in organic farming, the results show that transfer of technology constraints in adoption of organic farming namely, Data bank not available about consumers and demand was ranked first with highest weight mean score (2.98).moreover 98.3 percent of the farmers had perceived it as most serious constraint in organic farming and the finding regarding farmers’ perception of certification constraints in organic farming shows that complicated process of organic certification was ranked first constraint (67.5 percent).en_US
