| This study has been conducted in the backward district of Perambalur, which is a less resource-endowed district of Tamil Nadu, with the following objectives: (i) to identify the major causes and empirically determine the key correlates of agricultural labour migration in the study area, and (ii) to identify the causes for rural out-migration. The study has been conducted by taking landless (group I) and landed (group II) respondents. The Garatte ranking of the causes of migration has revealed that of the ten push factors and ten pull factors (both economic and non-economic), lack of continuous employment at place of origin is at the first rank with mean score of 77 and 78 per cent for group I and group II, respectively, followed by low wages at place of... |

| Constraints in adoption of biological inputs usage in cotton cultivation of Tamil Nadu have been identified. Among the reasons for non-adoption of bio-inputs, long-term practice has been considered as the important factor by the non-adopters (mean score, 67.18) and lack of adequate extension as the second important factor (mean score, 62.15). The probability of adoption of bio-inputs has been estimated by the multinominal logit model which has been found significant at one per cent level, based on the log-likelihood ratio test. The model has correctly predicted 78 per cent of the adopters and non-adopters. The analysis has indicated that the farmers’ perceptional characteristics are positively and significantly related to the adoption of bio-inputs,... |
