| With note | Abstract:<br/>Rice is the most important crop grown in both the hill and valley regions of Manipur state occupying about 212.68 ha (Anon. 2010-11). Considering the importance of Resource Conservation Technologies (RCTs) and its overriding concern across the nation in the present agricultural scenario, the present study entitled ―Adoption of Resource Conservation Technologies (RCTs) in Rice Cultivation in Imphal West District of Manipur‖ was carried out with 120 sample size selected through proportionate random sampling from 10 villages in the district during January-March, 2012 with the following four objectives viz., to determine the extent of adoption of resource conservation technologies (RCTs) in rice cultivation by the respondents, to study the socio-economic and psychological characteristics of the respondents, to analyze the relationship and influence of socio-economic and psychological characteristics of the respondents with and on their extent of adoption of RCTs in rice cultivation and to identify the problems of farmers associated with adoption of RCTs in rice cultivation and their suggestive measures. Data collection from the selected respondents was made with the help of pre-tested Structured schedule through personal interview method. The selected independent variables in the present study were age, education, size of operational land holding, annual income, social participation, extension contact, mass media exposure, economic motivation, risk orientation, innovation proneness, and attitude towards RCTs and knowledge towards RCTs. The dependent variable selected was Extent of adoption of RCTs in rice cultivation. Apart from calculating the frequency, percentage, mean and S. D., rank order correlation of coefficients , multiple regression, step-wise multiple regression and Garrett‘s ranking technique were used as statistical techniques for analyzing data. For testing hypotheses formulated under the study,‘ t’ test was applied. The study reveals that nearly fifty percent of the respondents (48.83%) had medium level of adoption of resource conservation practices in rice cultivation. In case of socio-personal characteristics of the respondents, 52.50% of the respondents were of middle age with medium education level (43.33%) and high social participation (43.33%). While majority (70.83%) respondents were marginal farmers and belonged to medium category of annual income (87.50%) under economic characteristics. In case of communication characteristics, 66.66% and 74.17% of the respondents had medium level of extension contact and mass media exposure. The findings also indicate that all the 5 psychological characteristics viz., economic motivation, risk orientation, innovation proneness, attitude towards RCTs and knowledge towards RCTs were found medium adoption by over 50.00% respondents with percentage distribution of 50.00%, 66.67%, 61.67%, 70.00% and 51.67% respectively. Out of the 12 independent variables under the study, 10 variables namely; education, annual income, social participation, extension contact, mass media exposure, economic motivation, risk orientation, innovation proneness, attitude towards RCTs and knowledge towards RCTs were found to be significant and positively correlated with extent of adoption of RCTs in rice cultivation. While characteristics such as innovation proneness, attitude towards RCTs and knowledge towards RCTs had highest contribution to their extent of adoption of RCTs in rice cultivation as shown by their positively significant ̳t‘values of multiple regression. The study also shows that among the various problems identified by the respondents, the most important problems which were ranked as first, second and third by the respondents were lack of assured irrigation facilities, lack of awareness and training programme on resource conservation practices and lack of technical guidance towards resource conservation practices in rice respectively. While provision for assured irrigation and proper drainage facilities, organizing as many as awareness and training programme towards RCTs covering more village in the district and conducting group discussion, demonstrations and on-farm testing on different resource conservation practices in rice cultivation were the important suggestions made by most of the farmers to solve many of the problems associated with adoption of RCTs in rice cultivation. |
