A structured questionnaire based on diffusion of innovation theory and technology acceptance model was developed. Data was collected from 400 farmers. The findings revealed that the adoption of Direct Seeded Rice, Solar Water Pump technology was at low to moderate level, while Super seeder technology exhibited moderate to high adoption. Key factors influencing the adoption for Direct Seeded Rice were optimized crop Growth and efficiency, age, education, primary occupation, annual farm income, and total landholdings. For Solar Water Pump: Economic viability and reliability, total landholdings and annual farm income. For the Super seeder: Optimized wheat sowing and agronomic benefits, education level, primary occupation, landholdings and annual farm income. Notably, the adoption of Direct Seeded Rice technology was associated with a significant reduction in the cost of rice (paddy) cultivation, leading to increase in farm income. Adoption of Solar Water Pump technology contributed marginally to farm income. Adoption of Super seeder technology positively impacted wheat production, thereby enhancing overall farm income. On the other hand, gender, family size, family type, and farming experience were observed to lack statistically significant associations with the adoption of the selected farm technologiesEnglishThesis
