Constraints Faced by the Farmers in Adoption of Recommended Sorghum Practices by Atma in Dindigul District of Tamil Nadu, India

The present study was undertaken to analyse the constraints faced by the farmers in the adoption of sorghum production practices. A list of trainees was obtained from the State Department of Agriculture (SDA). About 120 samples of respondents were selected using a proportionate random sampling method. An ex-post facto research design was followed for the study. It was revealed that the failure of seasonal rainfall, labour scarcity, drought, low price to the product, non-availability of bio-fertilizer, high cost of plant protection chemicals, non-availability of inputs and lack of technological guidance was the major constraint in the adoption of sorghum practices.
