Abstract:
The present investigation was carried out in agro climatic zone (IVa) of Rajasthan State. Sample of 240 respondents were selected by simple random sampling technique for the study purpose. Response of integrated farming system owners was taken by personal interview schedule. The purpose of this study was to find out the constraints faced by farmers in adoption of recommended integrated farming system production technology. In this context, a suitable scale was developed to measure the constraints faced by the respondents in adoption of integrated farming system. These constraints were divided into five groups i.e. Production constraints, Marketing constraints, Situational constraints, Financial and Extension constraints. The present study indicated that “Lack of required finance” (82.08 MPS) was the most serious financial constraints followed by, “Low price for the produce” (81.80 MPS) marketing constraints, “Non availability of quality Planting material/species” (80.55 MPS) production constraints, “Uneven distribution of rainfall” (75.00 MPS) situational constraints, and “Non availability of clinical services for livestock & poultry” (60.13 MPS) extension constraints.
