Abstract/Description: | Bt. cotton was deployed for commercial cultivation in India in 2002. However, in Rajasthan its legal cultivation began only in 2005. The present study using ex-post facto research design and interview schedule based survey research method attempted to assess the techno-economic performance, constraints in adoption, and farmers’ perception of Bt. cotton. Mean perception score of farmers as 3.34, showed that their perception about Bt. cotton was largely positive. Odd ratio estimate showed significant positive relation of farmers’ age, innovativeness and family size. For better adoption of Bt. cotton constraints like high seed cost, unavailability of irrigation in time and in adequate quantity and lack of information dissemination of complete package of technology through public extension system need to be managed. Farmers should be made aware of IPM packages for management of cotton pests through intensive extension programmes. |
