In this paper, technological and methodological innovations developed and followed by the organic and inorganic cardamom farmers had been studied and the reasons for the adoption of organic cardamom production were identified. The results of the study on different aspects of extent of adoption in case of organic and inorganic farmers clearly showed that most of the practicing farmers were innovative in the complete adoption of all the relevant technologies as per the package of practices. Organic cardamom growers were found to be more innovative in the adoption of practices like planting material selection based on farmer selection and local selection, the water and soil conservation technologies, and different ways of plant protection measures that contribute higher benefit for the overall improvement of their farmland and the income generating capacity of farmers. Extent of adoption of the various cultivation aspects showed the innovative nature of the farmers. Their greater concern for the pollution free environment, chemical free produce, and increased demand for the organic cardamom in the international and the domestic markets drove them energetically to adopt organic farming practices in cardamom. Concreted extension efforts are needed for the rapid spread of the eco-friendly available practices and technologies.
