Constraints in Adoption of Improved Technology of Mustard Cultivation

A study was conducted to determine the constraints being faced by farmers in adoption of improved technology of mustard cultivation. The major bottlenecks in adoption of new technology were scarcity of money followed by unavailability of inputs in near by markets, high cost of inputs, their unavailability in time and lack of moisture in the soil among both the trained and untrained farmers. The lack of knowledge and skill were prominent barricades in adoption in case of untrained farmers. Therefore, it is recommended that necessary steps must be taken by Government to make availability of inputs in all the areas that too well in time as well as make some subsidy arrangements to enable the farmers to purchase the inputs.
