Low agricultural productivity in developing countries is a common feature. One of the reason is non adoption of improved and recommended technologies. Crop production technologies are there but their adoption is low. Increase in the productivity has always remained a concern of scientists. Many technologies have developed by the researchers to improve the efficiency of crop production systems. By adopting improved crop production technologies farmers can get yields closer to potential yields. To enhance the adoption of technologies which ultimately leads in reducing the gap between actual and potential yields creation of awareness is very important. The strengthening of linkages between research extension and farmer is also essential. This book assess the adaptability of improved crop production technologies by farmer community. In a writing style that is clear to the point and easy to understand this book provides the necessary background for a solid understanding of all issues related to the topic. The book will be suitable for use in courses covering crop production at either the introductory or intermediate levels of study and will be an invaluable reference for students and professionals alike. 268 pp.
