Description The present study was undertaken in two purposively selected districts, namely Sonipat and
Hisar of Haryana state with the specific objectives (1) To study the prospects of organic farming (2) To
assess the constraints in adoption of organic farming and (3) To develop a suitable strategy for
promotion of organic farming.
A total one hundred twenty farmers were selected and interviewed with the help of well
structured schedule. The interview schedule was divided into three parts i.e. profile of the respondents,
prospects of organic farming and constraints in adoption of organic farming.
The study revealed that majority of the farmers were of middle age group (36-50 years),
educated up to matric, belonged to joint family with 4-6 members, performed only farming and had
land holding up to 5 acres. The present study shows that more than four third of growers of organic
farming perceived it as more bright level of prospects .However, the few of them were perceived it as
somewhat bright level prospect .Thus to promote organic farming, government should make policies
and plan training and educational modules for farmers, to ensure balanced agricultural development by
adopting the technique and practices of organic farming and to improved market infrastructure
for organic foods and the availability of quality bio pesticides to farmers can help in adoption
of organic farming.
The finding regarding farmers’ perception about input constraints in adoption of organic
farming show that Lack of knowledge and demand of bio pesticides (90.8%) was ranked first, the
results regarding perception about technical constraints in adopting of organic farming reveals that non
availability of improved organic production technology and Lack of knowledge about weed
management practices in organic farming were ranked first (94.2 percent), the finding regarding
farmers perception about marketing and economic constraints in adoption of organic farming show that
No separate market for organic produces and Weak marketing network /sale point both were ranked
first with highest weight mean score (360).100 percent of the respondents had perceived it as most
serious constraint in organic farming, the results show that transfer of technology constraints in
adoption of organic farming namely, Data bank not available about consumers and demand was ranked
first with highest weight mean score (2.98).moreover 98.3 percent of the farmers had perceived it as
most serious constraint in organic farming and the finding regarding farmers’ perception of
certification constraints in organic farming shows that complicated process of organic certification was
ranked first constraint (67.5 percent).
