This study was undertaken in Rajasthan state to delineate the constraints perceived in adoption of landraces by the selected 113 beneficiaries of project funded by Global Environment Facilities (GEF). Results revealed that high labour charges, natural calamities, unavailability of latest technology at village level and unavailability of proper storage place were perceived as most severe constraints. Correlation analysis of socio-economic antecedents with constraints revealed that strong and positive correlation was found between technological constraints and occupation. Financial constraints had significant and negative correlation with occupation, while significant and positive correlation with social participation. Storage constraints were strongly and positively associated with caste whereas strongly and negatively associated with income. General constraints had significant positive correlation with occupation, land-holding and income.
