Abstract:

The present study was undertaken to analyse the constraints faced by the farmers in the adoption of sorghum production practices. A list of trainees was obtained from the State Department of Agriculture (SDA). About 120 samples of respondents were selected using a proportionate random sampling method. An ex-post facto research design was followed for the study. It was revealed that the failure of seasonal rainfall, labour scarcity, drought, low price to the product, non-availability of bio-fertilizer, high cost of plant protection chemicals, non-availability of inputs and lack of technological guidance was the major constraint in the adoption of sorghum practices.
