ABSTRACT
The main purpose of the study was to determine the extent of adoption of brinjal
production technologies by the farmers. Attempts were made to explore the
relationships between the selected characteristics of farmers and adoption of
selected technologies. Data were obtained from 100 randomly selected farmers
from a total of 500 in Betgari union under Gangachara upazila in Rangpur district
during 10 August to 10 September 2020 with the help of an interview schedule.
Appropriate scales were developed in order to measure the variables. Correlation
test was used to ascertain the relationships between the concerned variables of the
study. The findings revealed that, majority (67 percent) of the farmers had medium
adoption while (18 percent) had low adoption and (15 percent) had high adoption
of selected brinjal production technologies. Correlation analysis indicate that
among the selected characteristics of the farmers, education, family size, farm size,
annual family income, farming experience, extension contact, training exposure and
organizational participation showed significant positive relationships with the
adoption of brinjal production technologies. On the other hand, age and
Cosmopoliteness of farmers did not show any significant relationships with their
adoption of brinjal production technologies.
