 ABSTRACT

A study was carried out to evaluate the knowledge level of farmers regarding System of Rice Intensification (SRI) method in Puri district of Odisha covering four villages viz. Kuarpur, Kashia sasan, Durgapur and Dandipur. The data were collected through personal interview by designing a questionnaire. Knowledge level was tested with 3 point scale from farmers and was analyzed by using statistical tools. Knowledge level of farmers towards land preparation, transplanting, fertilizer management, water management and weed management were at high level. Some farmers knowledge were poor which can be improved by imparting training on SRI method of rice cultivation by extension personnel of Agriculture University or State Department of Agriculture.
