Abstract

A study was conducted in Cachar district of Assam with 120 farmers to determine the knowledge gap on improved autumn rice cultivation. It was found that majority of the farmers did not have adequate knowledge on production recommendations and that more than half of the production recommendation were not known to them. The knowledge gap on complex practices like seed treatment, disease and insect pest management were on much higher side.
