A study was conducted to study the extent of adoption of recommended sugarcane technologies by the different categories of sugarcane growers in selected six blocks of Cuddalore district of Tamil Nadu. The selected six blocks were Keerapalayam, Kammapuram, Katttumannar Koil, Annagramam, Kurinjipadi and Mangalore. The respondents were pre-stratified into marginal, small and big farmers consisting of 80 respondents in each categories. Altogether, 240 respondents were selected from six villages proportionately using simple random sampling. Thirty six per cent of marginal farmers had low level of adoption on sugarcane technology, whereas only 47.50 per cent of small farmers had medium level of adoption. In case of big farmers, 58.75 per cent of them had high level of adoption. Out of ten technologies of sugarcane cultivation, the difference could be observed between the marginal, small and big farmers for adoption of four technologies viz., sett treatment, herbicide application, bio-fertilizer application and use of bio-control agents.Keywords

The effective learning experience can be had effective learning situations provided by a skillful instructor who knows what he wants, who has the materials to accomplish his goals and the skills to use them effectively. The study was conducted in Cuddalore district of Tamil Nadu. A total number of ten sugarcane technologies with technical units were selected for the study. The result of the study showed that the marginal farmers possessed low level of learning experience. The learning experience may be further enhanced by majority of the marginal farmers to prefer personal localite channels for getting information.
