| dc.description.abstract | The practice gap analysis is an important tool to estimate to what extent the
production could be increased if all factors are controlled. The study was conducted
among the farmers of six villages under Taherpur Upazila of Sunamganj district to
assess the hindrances to the higher yield and to determine the gap of production
packages recommended for haor area in relation to boro rice production. A
structured interview schedule was used to collect data from of a sample of 100
farmers of six villages during June to August, 2014. Practice gap was determined on
the basis of the difference between the recommended production package for boro
rice and actual practice of the farmers of haor area. Overwhelming majority (84
percent) of the farmers had medium (18.02 – 31.42 percent) to high (31.43 – 44.85
percent) practice gap. It was due to high gap in some production packages like
application of urea in seedbed, age of seedlings for transplanting, line-line & hill-hill
spacing, gypsum dose in main field, harvesting maturity of rice. Education, family
education, organizational participation, extension contact, farming experience and
attitude towards modern boro rice cultivation had negative and constraints in
adoption of production package had positive significant correlation with practice
gap. | en_US |
