Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper analyzes results from a 1994 survey of independent crop consultants to determine the level of adoption by farmers of nonchemical pest and nutrient management practices and to determine the major factors aiding and limiting adoption. Consultants indicated that the major limitations to adoption are lack of viable nonchemical tactics, potential lower yields, higher production costs, higher management skills required, lack of information, and lower crop quality. Suggested policies which could enhance the development and adoption of nonchemical practices include more basic and applied research, more extension education programs, and continued development of a private consulting indusny.
