Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 4
Abstract
Paddy farming is the main vocation of farmers in Cauvery delta agro climatic zone of TamilNadu. Rice is the staple food of TamilNadu, paddy cultivation not only ensures food security, but also is an important commercial farm activity. Thiruvarur, Thanjavur and Nagapattinam were selected as the study locations owing to its prominence due to the presence of Cauvery water irrigation. The risks faced by farmers were categorized into credit, cultivation and marketing risks. Based on the discussion with scientists, extensionists and progressive farmers, common strategies adopted by farmers to manage credit, cultivation and marketing risks were identified. Responses were collected from the farmers to measure adoption and percentage analysis of the same was carried out to arrive at the finding. Further the adoption score was correlated with profile characteristics and the results are tabulated in this study.
