Abstract
The study was aimed to reveal the farmers’ perception towards different attributes of various farm machinery viz., relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, and trialability. Data were gathered from a sample of total 240 farmers through a well-structured interview schedule. Each implement was analyzed in terms of its perceived attributes by the farmers by taking the frequency and percentage for each attribute. The level of perception of different attributes for each implement by the farmers as noticed in the study needs to be analyzed in depth, so as to refine the existing implements or reorient the extension activities for effective dissemination of farm machinery.
Keywords
