Abstract
This paper explores the impact of various socio-economic characteristics of farmers in adoption of net house vegetable cultivation. The study is based on the primary data collected from a sample of 120 farmers consisting of 60 net house and 60 open field vegetable growers. The data were collected for the year 2011–12. Logistic Regression Model was used to empirically quantify the relative influence of various socio-economic variables in the adoption of net house cultivation. The socio-economic variables considered were age, family size, farm size, education, income, extension contacts and membership of farmers ’professional societies. The analysis brought out that the income from other sources than crop income, farmers having extension contacts and membership of professional societies significantly enhance the adoption of net house technology.
