Abstract

One such piece of technology that can be immediately applied to the expansion of agriculture is the mobile application. Additionally, the current research was carried out in four districts of the Haryana state, namely Rewari, Jhajjar, Karnal, and Kurukshetra, in the year 2022 to investigate how farmers perceive agricultural mobile apps. Additionally, two blocks from each of the four districts were randomly chosen, as were two villages from each of the eight blocks. This gave a total of sixteen villages, with fifteen respondents from each village being chosen for the data gathering. As a result, 240 respondents were chosen in total, and the researcher directly interviewed them at their farms and homes. According to the current study, most farmers had a medium degree of perception of mobile technology. The majority of respondents classified their view of agriculture mobile apps as medium level. Overall, respondents' perceptions of agricultural mobile applications were satisfactory.
