Abstract
Farmers in Sikkim have an aversion to commercial production of horticultural crops as this requires high initial investment. Low educational level coupled with improper technical training/extension services leading to low adoption of new technologies has been a problem area. Farmer's perception in case of seasonal training revealed that about 39.3 percent farmers preferred 2–3 days training followed by 5–7 days training (22%), one day training (18%), less than 7 days training (12.7%) and no training (8%). Regarding demonstrations, 65.3 per cent of the respondents preferred off campus while 4.7 per cent preferred on campus demonstrations. The study revealed twenty six major constraints and difficulty in using bio control agents, non-availability of bio pesticides and bio-fertilizers were most predominant among all for horticulture growers of East Sikkim.
