摘要
The study examined the socio-economic factors influencing the decisions to adopt technologies in dryland crops of Andhra Pradesh. The results from multinomial logit analysis revealed that education, extension contact and farmer trainings helped to increase level of technology adoption. Whereas, distance and farm size served as definite drags in technology adoption process. However, income and perceived risk helped and motivated farmers in better technology adoption.
