The study was conducted in Hanumangarh district of Rajasthan as the district had highest area and production of rice crop as compared to other district of Sri Ganganagar region. Three Panchayat samities were selected from district having highest area under rice crop and demonstrations were conducted under MMA about improved package of practices of rice crop. The Department of Agriculture, Govt. of Rajasthan has conducted demonstration on improved package of practices of rice cultivation technology in these twelve villages under MMA scheme. All the respondents who had participated in demonstration on improved package of practices of rice cultivation technology were called as beneficiary. Equal numbers of non-beneficiary farmers, who did not participate in the demonstrations, fromeach selected villages were also selected to make the study comparable. In all 210 respondents were included for the study purpose out of which 50 per cent i.e. 105 were beneficiaries and remaining 105 non-beneficiaries were rice growers. Data were collected by personal interview method. Various statistical measures viz., chi-square test, 'z' test, 't' test and spearman's rank correlation tests were used for analyzing the data. The beneficiary farmers possessed more knowledge than the non-beneficiary farmers. There existed similarity in rank assignment pattern and a significant difference in the knowledge level of beneficiary and non-beneficiary farmers.Keywords

Data were collected by personal interview method. Various statistical measures viz., chi- square test, 'z' test, 't' test and Spearman's rank correlation tests were used for analyzing the data. There was significant association between education, size of land holding, annual income, social participation and sources of information utilized with knowledge level of the farmers. The age, caste, family type and family size of rice growers were non-significantly associated with the knowledge level of the farmers.Keywords

This study was conducted in the desert tract of Rajasthan of during the year 2012-13. To know the causes and motives behind the adoption or non-adoption of the technology base among our diverse farming community. The result revealed that accessibility and cost effectiveness and among the potential causes of non-adoption of recommended production technologies and that very encouraging level of the factors viz., attitude towards innovative farm institute commercialization index and surplus income leads to a high rates of adoption. Out of 160 farmers 42.62 per cent were found to have high rate of technology adoption in various crops whereas, 34.08 and 23.30 per cent farmers had adopted medium and low level of technology. Result highlighted that technology adoption level was highest in fertilizer technology upto 59.17 per cent and only farmers used it upto low level in fertilizer and number of irrigation, respectively. It was also found that maximum farmers were having very encouraging (favorable) levels of attitude towards, Innovative farm, surplus income, commercialization, index farm size, economic information and extension linkage. Had obtained high level of technology. The results further indicated that 'lack of knowledge about chemical weed control', 'weed control through weedicides is technically complex method', 'lack of knowledge about chemical and quantity in plant protection measures and for seed treatment', labour charges costly were the main constraints as perceived by the respondents in adoption of farm technology.Keywords
