Item Constraints in evolving, spreading and adopting improved rice varieties in Kerala(Kerala Agricultural University, 1992) Abdul Rahiman Kunju, O; Tampi, A M; Bhaskaran, COut of the nine constraints identified in evolving and spreading improved rice varieties, lack of facilities for evolving specific varieties suited to certain rice pockets of Kerala ranked first as percieved by the research subsystem. Non-filling up of post of scientists, lack of facilities to multiply seeds of improved varieties and for onfarm teaching of farmers were other important constraints in the descending order. Susceptibility to pests and diseases, requirement of heavy dose of fertilizers, poor cooking quality and low straw yield were the most important constraints in spreading and adopting improved rice varieties as perceived by extension, client and input subsystems.Item Extent of adoption of techniques of scientific vegetable cultivation by trained farm men and women(Kerala Agricultural University, 1983) Abdul Rahiman Kunju, O; Mothilal Nehru, SItem Farmers' awareness about and attitude towards training and visit system(Kerala Agricultural University, 1986) Betty Cherian, K; Abdul Rahiman Kunju, OItem Gain in knowledge and attitude towards training of supervisors of primary land motgage banks(Kerala Agricultural University, 1980) Abdul Rahiman Kunju, O; Menon, A G GItem Impact of training to social forestry personnel(Kerala Agricultural University, 1992) Abdul Rahiman Kunju, O; Bhaskaran, C; Bhaskaran, SItem Knowledge utilization by farmer trainees on propagation techniques of fruit and ornamental plants(Kerala Agricultural University, 1982) Abdul Rahiman Kunju, O; Mothilal Nehru, SItem Research-extension linkages in the transferof technology of improved rice varieties – A factor analysis(Kerala Agricultural University, 1992) Abdul Rahiman Kunju, O; Tampi, A M; Bhaskaran, CA study was conducted to explore the extent of funtional linkages between the research and extension subsystems in the transfer of technology of improved rice varieties. The factors associated with the linkage of research subsytem with the extension subsystem were mainly, providing consultancy services and training to extension personnel, supervising trials and demonstrations, facilitating as well as guiding in field level extension activities and providing information support on new varieties by the researchers. The linking factors of extension subsystem with the researchers were mainly, participation in workshops and joint field visits, seeking help of researchers in trials and demonstrations laid out by the extension personnel.
