A wide gap between technological recommendation and actual adoption by the farmers of coriander
and cumin growing area of Rajasthan exists. Besides, various extension approaches tried so far for
dissemination of improved technology, the rate of technology adoption has been very low. The common
reasons for poor adoption of technology are inadequate extension services, inadequate input supply,
inadequate market infrastructure and letharginess of farmers lethargy. Other important reasons for low
acceptance are technologies themselves which are not economically viable or operationally feasible,
matching with farmers need and compatible with farmers over all farming system. An extensive survey of
three district viz., Baran , Ajmer and Jodhpur was conducted covering 2700 of coriander and cumin farm
families The selected responded were interviewed personally with the help of well structured pre-tested
interview schedule. In this study it was observed that maximum gap (100 %) was observed in varietal use,
value addition and chemical weed control in all the panchyat of selected districts in coriander and cumin. A
wide gap was found in the practices like use of recommended doses of fertilizer, sowing method, crop
geometry, and seed treatment, plant protection measures in cumin and coriander in all the adopted
panchayat of three districts. However fewer gaps were found with respect to seed rate, seed treatment and
method of sowing. Thus, it is necessary to devise an appropriate strategy to enhance technology
dissemination and adoption by the farmer for increasing production and productivity of coriander and cumin
leading to increase in overall income of farmer for improvement in standard of living.
