Abstract

Adaptive Research studies are currently being undertaken by the extension personnel. Correct understanding and appreciation of this termino- logy is necessary to know exactly what needs to be accomplished in the field. Specifically stated, it is a field testing programme of a scientific finding for immediate application before recommending for mass scale adoption. 'Field Testing, 'Field Verification trials', 'On-the-farm Testing' are some of the terms used to denote adaptive research. Adaptive research studies have assumed added importance in the context of voluminous flow of scientific findings from different research centres within the country and outside. Consequently, the extension worker has perforce to understand clearly whether or not a particular scientific recommendation will be suitable to his area and capable of meeting the needs and demands of the farmers and solving the local agricultural problems.
