Abstract:
A logit model was used to identify the factors that affect the adoption of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) technology by the farmers growing cauliflower in the state of Haryana, India. The changes in probability as influenced by the changes in different factors were also determined by the odds ratio. On the basis of both parameter estimates as well as odds ratio, it was observed that income from vegetables and area under vegetable cultivation were the most important and decisive factors influencing positively the adoption of IPM technology in cauliflower, whereas cropping intensity, lack of education and social backwardness were the factors which adversely affected the adoption of IPM in cauliflower cultivation.
