| Abstract: |
A study was carried out to examine the socio-economic and adoption of organic farming-related practices by the Nepalese farming communities in four districts of eastern and central region of Nepal. A total of 180 farmers were purposively selected for administering a structured interview schedule for collecting necessary data. Most of the respondents were male (82%) and of middle age group (60%). The respondents were literate (35%), followed by high school education (17%), primary education (15%) and middle level education (11%), respectively. Most of the farm families were involved in cereal production and the family size of 3-5 members was maximum (42.67%). Majority of the respondents (45%) were found to be medium level of adopters of organic farming-related practices followed by low (31.67%), and high (23.33%) level of adopters. Majority of the respondents had adopted selection of good quality seed and application of FYM followed by practice of seed inoculation, use of green manure, in-situ incorporation of plant residues, use of ash by burning crop stubble, use of biogas slurry, application of vermin-compost. Very few had adopted the Sesbania cultivation in their field. Moreover, regarding the integrated pest management, majority adopted summer ploughing followed by using herbal leaf (Titepatti, Bakaino etc.), hand weeding, cow urine, neem leaf extract, pheromone trap/light trap, neem oil, tobacco decoction. Majority of the respondents suggested that farmers' training, on-farm demonstration and their exposure visits farms would motivate farmers to adopt organic farming. |
