Farmers' Adoption of High Yielding Aromatic Rice Varieties Developed at RARS, Titabar and their Associated Practices by the Farmers in Jorhat District of Assam
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 2
Abstract
The present investigation was carried out in Jorhat district of Assam, following Ex-Post-Facto research design with a view to examining the extent of adoption of high yielding aromatic rice varieties and their associated practices. The study covered the location specific high yielding aromatic rice varieties developed by Regional Agricultural Research Station, Titabar and found that the overall adoption of high yielding aromatic rice varieties and their associated practices was of medium level. In case of recommended practice wise adoption level, the study revealed that all the respondents (100.00%) fully adopted the recommended varieties, a practice of seed selection and sowing time of seeding. It was found that the majority of respondent fully adopted the practices such as; gap filling, the number of seedling per hill and transplanting time, application of urea and SSP, practices of number of split application of urea. The practices of the nursery bed size and quantity of seed, spacing, application of recommended dose of MOP, timing of split application of urea were the practices partially adopted by a majority of the respondents. However, it could further be seen that the majority of the respondents did not adopt the important improved cultivation practices such as; plant protection measure in a seed bed and in the main field. So, there is a need to adopt the full-improved recommended package of practices for increasing the productivity with quality in aromatic rice.
