Abstract

The study was carried out to analyse the factors affecting the adoption of Blackgram variety LBG-752 in Krishna district of Andhra Pradesh. It specifically describes the determinants and the constraints by the farmers for adoption of Blackgram variety LBG-752. A multi-stage sampling procedure was used to select 60 farmers for the study in Krishna district. Primary data were collected from the sampled farmers by using a well-structured questionnaire. Data were analysed by employing logistic regression and garret ranking technique. The logistic regression results showed that the farm size, size of the family, experience of the farmer and average annual farm income of the farmer were positively and significantly influenced the adoption of Blackgram variety LBG-752. On the other hand, age of the farmer was shown significant and negative influence on the adoption of Blackgram variety LBG-752. The garret ranking results revealed that the lack of knowledge to identify Blackgram varieties, lack of extension service and non- availability of required varieties during sowing period etc., were the major constraints faced by the farmers in the adoption of Blackgram variety LBG-752 in the study area.
