CONSTRAINTS OF ADOPTING ECOFRIENDLY RICE FARMING PRACTICES (Pages : 6 - 11)

The study was conducted in two villages named Baravita and Ghogarkuti of Baravita Union under Fulbari Upazila of Kurigram District in the year 2005-2006. The main objective of the study was to determine the constraints of adopting eco-friendly rice farming practices. The majority of respondent having young age, primary level of education, large family size, medium farm size, low extension media contact, medium organizational participation, low innovativeness, medium cosmopoliteness, and moderately positive attitude towards IPM practices were high. Lack of extension services for eco-friendly farming practices, lack of government support for eco-friendly farming practices and limited alternatives to pesticides in case of severe infection were major constraints of the farmers on IPM practices. Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE) and Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) should organize regular motivational training programs on the benefit of IPM practices.Download
