F. AFROZ, M.H. BHUIYAN, K.Z. HOSSAIN AND M.S. RAHMANEffectiveness of result demonstration in transfer of technologies is well recognized but empirical measurement of effectiveness is not well focused. The purpose of this study was to ascertain the effectiveness of result demonstration in transfer of BRRI dhan50 and to explore the relationships between effectiveness of result demonstration in transfer of BRRI dhan50 and the selected characteristics of the farmers. The study was conducted in three villages Narikelbaria, Vupotipur and Chando of Jhenaidah Sadar upazilla under Jhenaidah district of Bangladesh. Data were collected from a sample of randomly selected 90 farmers from 1,165 farmers. The data were collected by using a structured interview schedule during 24 July 2014 to 20 August 2014. Pearson’s Product Moment co-efficient of correlation (r) was computed in order to explore the relationships between the dependent and independent variables. The findings of the study demonstrated that result demonstration in transfer of BRRI dhan50 was found medium effective among 64.40 percent farmers as compared to low effective and high effective among 28.90 and 6.70 percent farmers respectively. Among twelve characteristics of the farmers, farm size, annual income, training exposure, innovativeness, personality and motivation had significant positive relationships with effectiveness of result demonstration in transfer of BRRI dhan50 which needs special consideration before arranging result demonstration.
