The main purpose of the study was to evaluate farmers
socio-economic status, attitude and
relationship among them towards organic farming. A
simple random sampling technique was used to
select 40 respondents. Attitude of respondents toward
organic farming was measured with twenty
statements using five point likert type scales. To
explore the relationship between the concerned
variables correlation coefficient (r) was computed.
Majority of the respondents were male (90%),
average age was 44 years. 45% respondents were
illiterate, had average 4 years of farming
experience. Majority of the respondents (80%) had
positive attitude towards organic farming.
Relatives and Extension Agents were found as the main
information source of organic farming for
most of the respondents. Cosmopoliteness and Extension
contact had positive and significant
relationship with their attitude (.461 and .377
respectively). Efforts should therefore be made to
promote and increase the practice of organic farming as
promoting organic farming practice, farm
income is increased than conventional farming and
Government role is highly demanded.
