The data were collected by interviewing the respondents personally with the help of Pre-tested and well-structured interview schedule. The data were processed, coded and tabulated. Statistical analysis like percentage analysis, cumulative frequency distribution and zero-order correlation coefficient were used for analyzing and interpreting the data. The correlation analysis on the characteristics of the farmers revealed that out of fourteen independent variables studied, five variables namely educational status X2 , farming experience X5 , cosmopolites X8 , information sharing behaviour X11 and attitude towards eco-friendly practices X14 had shown positive and significant association with the extent of adoption of eco-friendly agricultural practices at 0.01 per cent level probability, while the variables viz., livestock possession X10 and extension agency contact X9 , mass media exposure X10 , self-confidence X13 had shown positive and significant association with the adoption of eco-friendly agricultural practices at 0.05 per cent level probability.
