Abstract

Adoption of modern cultivation technology is crucial for the growth of agriculture and development of the farming community at large. Studying the adoption of a crop cultivation technology among farmers is helpful in devising appropriate extension strategies to improve the productivity of that crop. The study was undertaken to assess the adoption level of cabbage cultivation technology in farmers of Khordha district of Odisha and determine the factors that influence the adoption level. Ex-post facto research design was employed. The research was conducted in Balianta and Balipatna blocks of Khordha district of Odisha. A sample size of 120 respondents was chosen through simple random sampling from six villages. Data was collected using a pretested, structured interview schedule through personal interview and analysed using statistical tools. The findings revealed that majority (69.17%) of respondents had medium level of adoption, followed by high level of adoption (20%) and low level of adoption (10.83%) of cabbage cultivation technology. Correlation analysis found that socio-economic attributes such as age, educational qualification, land holding size, extension contact, experience in cabbage cultivation, mass media exposure, and innovativeness were positively and significantly correlated with the level of adoption of cabbage cultivation technology by respondents.
