Rice cultivation faces challenges across the world and India is no
exception. With the increasing cost of cultivation of paddy coupled
with labour scarcity, sustaining the interest of farmers in rice
cultivation has become a challenge. Thus, there is an urgent need
to produce more output with a drop of water owing to water
scarcity. This study has envisaged to examine the issues in
adoption and dis-adoption and its impact on resource use, yield and
efficiency of SRI farmers in Palakkad district of Kerala, India.
The present study revealed that SRI can be further adopted and
practiced by farmers if there is an improvement in SRI extension
service delivery. The main problem associated with discontinuance
behaviour of farmers was shortage of skilled labour. Training and
education to farmers on SRI techniques should be enhanced so that
skilled labour is available for various operations and farmers can
adopt SRI technologies to their own resource endowments and
constraints to improve their rice production. The farmers should
also be provided with essential institutional support through
technology and capacity building.
