Abstract


A scale was developed to measure the attitude of farmers towards use of Laser Land Leveller Technology in agriculture. Likert's summated rating scale technique was followed for the construction of attitude scale. In the processes of forming the scale items used with reference to the experts' views, a total of 2 2 statements were selected and given to 48 adopter farmers ofLaser Land Leveller technology in Punjab, India. The scale developed finally consisted of 19 statements including positive and negative statements. The reliability and validity of the scale indicates its precision and consistency of the results.
