ABSTRACT

Present study was conducted in twelve villages of three districts namely, Jammu, Kathua and
Udhampur of J&K State. A sample of 240 respondents was gathered through simple random sampling
technique. Ten independent variables namely knowledge, family education, source of information
utilized, age, social participation, socio economic status, experience, no. of animals owned by the
farmers, farm size and family size were identified through pilot study of the area and review of
literature. For measuring these variables already available scales were adopted and wherever the
tools were not available the same were constructed. The findings indicated that independent variables
knowledge, experience in farming, socio-economic status, family education, social participation,
sources of information and farm size were positively and significantly associated with the adoption
of Scientific Technological Practices (STPs) of agriculture by the farmers . While the remaining
independent variables age, number of animals owned and family size were not significantly
contributed with the adoption of Scientific Technological Practices (STPs).
