Diffusion and adoption of important components of knowledge and adoption process which plays a significant role in dissemination and implementation of the technology
The document discusses Rogers' model of the adoption process, which involves 5 stages: awareness, interest, evaluation, trial, and adoption. It describes several studies that helped develop this model. Ryan and Gross identified 4 stages: awareness, conviction, acceptance, and adoption. Wilkening described adoption as a process involving learning, deciding, and acting over time through 4 stages: awareness, obtaining information, conviction, and trial. The North Central Rural Sociology Committee identified the same 5 stages that Rogers later outlined. The stages are presented as: awareness, interest, evaluation, trial, and adoption. It is noted that not all models agree on the number of stages, and individuals may jump between stages or abandon the process depending on various factors
Through initiatives like e-Choupal, Tata Kisan Sansar, and Samriddhi Centers, various organizations aim to empower Indian farmers by providing access to market information, inputs, financial services, and education to help improve productivity and incomes. These programs establish local resource hubs that deliver agronomic advice, test soil/water, supply seeds/pesticides, offer insurance, and connect farmers to markets. The goal is to break cycles of poverty and enable rural prosperity.

Privatization of agriculture extension involves transferring ownership of extension services from the public sector to private organizations. This began in India in the 1980s to improve access to inputs and create a more efficient system, as the public system had shortcomings like only reaching a small portion of farmers and having an ineffective top-down approach. Private extension is now provided by groups like agricultural consultants, farmers associations, input companies and NGOs. While privatization reduces the economic burden on the government and increases efficiency, it could hamper free sharing of information if farmers don't disseminate learning to others and only commercial farmers benefit.
The document discusses several models of the adoption process for innovations. The earliest and most widely known model proposed five stages: awareness, interest, evaluation, trial, and adoption. Later models expanded on these stages or proposed alternative frameworks. The five stage model remains commonly used but is not necessarily a rigid sequence and can vary by factors like culture and the specific innovation. Overall, the models seek to describe the typical progression individuals go through in learning about, considering, testing, and ultimately adopting a new idea or technology.
The document discusses models and elements of the communication process. It defines communication and outlines 6 models of communication including Aristotle's model with 3 elements (speaker, speech, audience), Shannon-Weaver's model with 5 elements (source, transmitter, signal, receiver, destination), and Berlo's model with 4 elements (communicator, encoder, message, decoder, receiver). It identifies 6 key elements of the extension communication system: 1) communicator, 2) message, 3) channels, 4) treatment of messages, 5) audience, and 6) audience response. Each element is described in 1-2 sentences.
This document discusses leadership and defines leaders as individuals who influence and guide the actions and thoughts of others. It provides several definitions of leadership from different authors and describes key characteristics and skills of effective leaders, including interpersonal skills, self-management, influencing others, and goal achievement. The document also outlines methods for identifying leaders, such as sociometric methods, informants' ratings, self-designating techniques, and observation. It concludes by describing early adopters as localities that are more integrated in the community and have more opinion leadership.

Greenhouses allow for control of the components of a crop's microclimate, including light, temperature, relative humidity, ventilation, and carbon dioxide. Light intensity and wavelength affect photosynthesis rates, with optimal light between 32.3-129.6 klux. Temperature influences enzyme activity, with day temperatures generally 3-8°C higher than nights. Relative humidity is maintained between 50-80% through humidification and dehumidification. Ventilation manages air temperature, carbon dioxide, and humidity. Carbon dioxide is essential for plant growth, with most crops responding well to levels between 1000-1200 ppm in greenhouses.
The document summarizes India's agricultural extension systems. It discusses four major organizational streams that work for rural development: ICAR institutes and universities, state agriculture departments, rural development departments, and voluntary organizations. It then provides details on several specific extension programs established by ICAR, including National Demonstrations (1964), Operational Research Projects (1972), Krishi Vigyan Kendras (1974), Lab to Land (1979), and Frontline Demonstrations. It describes the objectives and roles of these various extension initiatives in demonstrating and disseminating new agricultural technologies to farmers.
This document discusses market-led extension and its importance for farmers in India. It begins by noting that as markets have globalized, farmers need to sell to wider markets beyond their local areas. It then discusses how the organization MANAGE began promoting the concept of "market-led extension" through workshops in 2001.
The key aspects of market-led extension are identified as having a market orientation, including both agriculture and economics considerations, and providing the perfect blend of reaching farmers with appropriate technologies. Reasons for adopting a market-led approach include addressing input, efficacy, credibility and structural crises in the existing extension system. The document outlines paradigmatic shifts needed from a production-led to market-led focus. Various models
This document discusses various promotional methods for seed marketing, including advertisements, sales promotions, personal selling, publicity, extension activities, and demonstrations. It describes both controllable marketing messages designed by organizations as well as uncontrollable personal recommendations. Farmers in developing countries tend to have low incomes, be conservative, lack information, and have limited transportation. The document then provides details on different media for advertisements, including print, broadcast, outdoor, and packaging. It also discusses sales promotion techniques, field demonstrations, personal selling, and public relations activities to promote seed adoption.
This document discusses the privatization of agricultural extension services in India. It defines privatization as reducing the government's role and increasing private sector involvement. Currently, India's public extension system focuses more on rural development than agriculture and has weaknesses like poor farmer-to-extension worker ratios and ineffective services. Privatizing extension could introduce more demand-driven, higher quality services provided by private agencies or NGOs for a fee. However, most Indian farmers are small and marginal with limited resources, so the scope for privatization is limited. The document examines different privatization approaches and factors favoring or limiting privatization of agricultural extension in India.
ATMA (Agriculture Technology Management Agency) is a registered society responsible for agricultural technology dissemination at the district level in Uttar Pradesh. It aims to decentralize decision making, increase farmer input, and improve coordination between research and extension activities. ATMA has a Governing Board that makes policies and a Management Committee responsible for planning and executing activities. It works to strengthen research-farmer linkages, coordinate different agricultural agencies, disseminate new technologies, and increase farmer ownership of the agricultural system. A case study describes how a farmer in Jharkhand increased her paddy yields from 16 to 82 quintals per hectare by adopting improved practices and technologies disseminated through ATMA.
The document outlines the adoption process model, which describes the stages an individual goes through when adopting an innovation. The key stages are:
1) Awareness - learning of the innovation's existence but not details;
2) Interest - seeking more information about how it works;
3) Evaluation - mentally applying the innovation to one's situation to assess worth;
4) Trial - experimentally applying the innovation on a small scale;
5) Adoption - full-scale, continued use upon satisfaction with trial results.
The stages are influenced by social and cultural factors and not always linear, but provide a general framework for understanding how innovations are adopted.
Diffusion of innovation------Innovation Decision ProcessAdesh Verma
This document summarizes Rogers' innovation-decision process model. It describes the five stages an individual or organization goes through when adopting an innovation: 1) knowledge, 2) persuasion, 3) decision, 4) implementation, and 5) confirmation. At each stage, the individual forms perceptions and evaluates the innovation. Communication channels and the social system influence how quickly an innovation is adopted. The innovation-decision period is the length of time it takes an individual or organization to progress through all five stages when deciding to adopt or reject an innovation.
1. Diffusion is the process by which an innovation is communicated over time among members of a social system. It involves an innovation, communication channels, time, and a social system.
2. There are five stages in the adoption process: knowledge, persuasion, decision, implementation, and confirmation. Adopter categories include innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority, and laggards.
3. Key aspects of diffusion include the innovation's attributes, the communication channels, the adopter's innovativeness, and the social system's norms and structure. Adoption occurs after an individual passes through awareness, interest, evaluation, trial, and adoption stages.

Innovation-Decision Process(A critical appraisal of the new formulation)Poornima C P
The document discusses Rogers' innovation-decision process, which describes the steps an individual or organization goes through in deciding to adopt or reject an innovation. It includes 5 stages: 1) Knowledge, where one learns of the innovation's existence; 2) Persuasion, where one forms attitudes about the innovation; 3) Decision, where one decides to adopt or reject; 4) Implementation, where one puts the innovation into use; 5) Confirmation, where one reinforces or reverses the decision. The rate of moving through these stages and adopting innovations varies between individuals and groups. Decisions can be optional, collective, or authority-based.
This document discusses the diffusion of innovation, which examines how new products, ideas or technologies are adopted by consumers over time. It outlines several key aspects of the diffusion process, including:
- The diffusion process itself, by which an innovation spreads via communication channels to members of a social system over periods of time.
- The innovation characteristics that influence its rate of adoption, such as relative advantage, compatibility, complexity, trialability and observability.
- Adopter categories that consumers fall into based on when they adopt - innovators, early adopters, early majority, late majority and laggards.
- The innovation adoption process individuals go through - awareness, interest, evaluation, trial and adoption/reject
The innovation-decision process consists of 5 stages:
1) Knowledge - individuals learn about the innovation's existence and function.
2) Persuasion - individuals form favorable or unfavorable attitudes toward the innovation.
3) Decision - individuals decide to adopt or reject the innovation.
4) Implementation - individuals put the innovation into use.
5) Confirmation - individuals seek reinforcement of their decision and may reverse it if exposed to conflicting information.
The document discusses Rogers' innovation-decision process, which describes the steps individuals go through when learning about a new innovation. The five steps are: 1) Knowledge - gaining awareness and understanding of the innovation, 2) Persuasion - forming attitudes toward the innovation, 3) Decision - deciding whether to adopt or reject the innovation, 4) Implementation - putting the innovation into use, and 5) Confirmation - reinforcing the decision or reversing it if issues arise. Each step involves cognitive and behavioral processes as individuals evaluate new ideas and determine whether and how to apply them.

The document concludes by noting applications for marketing research, new product development, and product reviews.
Lect 5a- Diffusion of Innovations-1.pptKISHOYIANKISH
The document discusses the diffusion of innovations theory developed by Everett Rogers. It defines key concepts such as:
- An innovation is an idea perceived as new that reduces uncertainty. Diffusion is the process by which innovations spread through communication over time among social systems.
- There are four main elements of diffusion: the innovation itself, communication channels, time, and a social system. Innovations have characteristics like relative advantage and complexity that influence their adoption. Interpersonal channels are more effective than mass media in spreading innovations.

Plastics have many uses in everyday life and agriculture due to their low cost, durability and ability to prolong the shelf life of foods. However, plastics persist in the environment for centuries and can pollute soils and waterways. In agriculture, plastics such as mulching films increase yields but eventually fragment and release toxins. Long-term use of plastic mulches reduces soil quality over time by decreasing porosity, oxygen levels and beneficial microbes. Microplastics less than 5mm in size are a growing problem, as they accumulate in soils and are eaten by earthworms and other organisms, entering the food chain and potentially compromising human health. Efforts are needed to reduce plastic pollution through alternatives to single

The principles discussed include hierarchy, span of control, unity of command, delegation of authority, responsibility, communication, flexibility, specialization, and centralization/decentralization. Some problems that can occur include failure to clarify relationships, delegate authority properly, giving authority without responsibility, multiple subordination, short-circuiting lines of authority, and giving extra-constitutional authority. Proper application of administrative principles and avoidance of these problems can help organizations function effectively.
The document discusses the privatization of agricultural extension in India. It notes that the current public sector system faces issues like poor coordination, lack of resources, and inability to meet diverse farmer needs. Privatization is presented as an option to address these issues by complementing public extension. Private extension stakeholders could include consultants, firms, progressive farmers, organizations, agribusinesses, and media. Approaches to privatization include farmers paying fees, levies on products, or membership fees. Strategies proposed are commercializing services, public-private partnerships, and gradual withdrawal of public extension. Advantages include tailored advice and accountability, while disadvantages are exclusion of small farmers and potential exploitation.
