With regard to extent of adoption of social
forestry by the small and marginal farmers, there was
no significant difference between them in adoption.
Both small and marginal farmers were mediur.i. to low
adopters. Most of the farmers have perceived many of
the advantages and disadvantages of Eucalyptus,
Casuarina and Babul. Both small and marginal farmers
riyhtly perceived that Eucalyyptus does not require
water management, and used as poles. The important
disadvantage perceived was· that Eucalyyptus reduces
water table and it is harmful to other crops. In case
of Casuarina, majority of the small and marg·inal
farmers perceived that the Casuarina plants are having
fast growth habit and require less water, the
disadvantage perceived was that casuarina plants
require intensive care and management. With regard to
Babul, most of the farmers perceived rightly that Babul
is very economical as it provide fodder and useful for
farm implements. Only disadvantage perceived correctly
by the farmers was that these plants having slow gr9wth
habit. ·

The extent of adoption had significant
association with education, social participation,
extension contact, annual income, mass-media exposure,
information seeking behaviour and cosmopolitenes. The
extent of adoption had non-significant association with
age.
In the l~ght of above findings, several
suggestions for future research were also highlighted.
These suggestions offered in the study, if followed by
concerned, will strengthen the transfer of social
forestry programme and will bring a drastic change in
its implementation,yielding remarkable results.
