Abstract:
The present investigation was conducted in Semi-arid Eastern Plain Zone of Rajasthan with objective to find constraints in adoption of protected cultivation technologies. The study was conducted in the year 2022–2023. A total of 120 farmers were selected as sample respondents through multistage sampling process. The findings showed that the biggest barriers to farmers adopting protected cultivation technologies were a lack of scientific know how about cultivation practices under protected conditions, a lack of technical guidance about crop production techniques, a high initial investment, a high cost of planting materials, a lack of marketing facilities at locality, and insufficient expertise in supply chain management.
