Title: Constraints faced by the farmers in IPM practices in rice cultivation
Abstract: The main focus of the study was to determine constraints faced by the farmers in IPM practices in rice cultivation, and to explore the relationship between the constraints faced by the farmers in IPM practices and their selected characteristics. The study was conducted at Ratanpur and Sreeampur union of Nabinagar upazila under Brahamanbaria district. Data were collected from 107 rice farmers who were randomly selected as the sample of the study from an update list of 1534 rice farmers that was prepared with the help of Sub-Assistant Agriculture Officers (SAAOs) of the study area. The researcher collected data through personal contact with a well structural pretested interview schedule. The study revealed that the highest proportion (75.70 percent) of the respondents faced medium constraints in IPM practices, while the17.76 percent of the respondents confronted high constraints and the rest 6.54 percent of respondents faced low constraints in IPM Practices. Pearson’s product moment correlation Co-efficient (r) was computed to explore the relationship between the constraints faced by the farmers in IPM practices and their ten selected characteristics. The correlation analysis stated that education, training received in IMP practices, extension media contract of the farmers had negative relationships with their constraints faced in IPM practices whereas age, total family members, rice cultivation area, annual family income and agricultural experience had no significant relationships with the constraints faced in IPM practices in rice cultivation.
