Description Degrading resource base over a period of time necessitated to think over sustainability
of resources and its’ conservation. Conservation Agriculture technologies possess such potential
of preserving the precious resources, which are being promoted by many government and
international agencies. Although, among various types of Conservation Agriculture
technologies, Direct Seeded rice, Hybrid rice and Laser land leveller were selected, but study
remained confined to DSR (Direct Seeded Rice) due to very less adoption of Hybrid rice and
Laser land leveller in study area. The present study has been designed with the objectives of to
analyze the adoption pattern of Conservation Agricultural Technologies, to study the
factors influencing the adoption of Conservation Agriculture Technologies, to study the
impact of Conservation Agriculture Technologies on farmer income and rice
productivity and to analyze the major constraints in adoption of Conservation
Agriculture Technologies by paddy growers in Eastern Uttar Pradesh.
Various analytical tools had been used for the study in order to arrive at the logical
conclusion. To know the adoption pattern and impact on farmers’ income tabular analysis and
multiple linear regression had been carried out. The logit regression had been applied to know
the factor influencing adoption of Direct Seeded Rice technology in the study area.
The results indicated that the adopter farmers were more literate, operational land
holding was greater in comparison to non-adopter and disadopters. Among various factors,
sources of information, educational status of the farmers, operational land holding was found to
have the highest impact in adoption of Direct Seeded rice technology while, irrigation number
adversely affected the adoption. Per hectare cost of cultivation was Rs 6538.52 lower, while
9.24 q/ha yield was higher in case of Kushinagar and Maharajganj district and 25.05 q/ha yield
was lower than conventional method of rice cultivation because DSR farmer had lost their crop
due to drought and submergence of crop in water in East Champaran and Deoria district
respectively. Net return was Rs 2926.40 higher in DSR method than conventional method of
rice cultivation. Weed management was the major constraints for Direct Seeded Rice adoption
in the study area.
