Item Communication patterns among contact farmers in Kerala(Kerala Agricultural University, 1984) Abdul Kareem, K; Menon, A G G; Bhaskaran, CThe research study conducted among selected contact farmers in Trivandrum district of Kerala revealed that majority of the respondents received most of the information, on coconut cultivation from Agricultural Demonstrators of the Department of Agriculture and 'local leaders' were the least consulted source of agro-information.
