Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 44
Abstract
Study focused on impact assessment of front line demonstrations (FLDs) through assessing and comparing the level of adoption of recommended mustard production technology (MPT) by beneficiary and non-beneficiary farmers. The sample consisted of randomly selected 102 mustard growers. Results described the positive impact of front line demonstrations on adoption of mustard production technology by the respondents. The findings supported that there existed a significant difference in level of adoption between beneficiary and non-beneficiary respondents regarding recommended practices of mustard cultivation. The value of rank order correlation (0.94) was positive and significant, supported the significant correlation with extent of adoption of improved mustard production technology by the beneficiary and non-beneficiary farmers. The beneficiary farmers were much motivated for adoption of technology. Front line demonstrations depicted the increased production as well significant change in attitude and adoption of mustard production technology. Hence, more number of farmers must be set forth under the umbrella of the technology demonstration.
