| dc.description.abstract | The main purposes of this study are to determine the use of modern
agricultural machinery by the farmers’ for rice production and to explore its
relationships with their selected characteristics. The study was carried out
in Chehelgazi union of Sadar upazila under Dinajpur district. One hundred
one (101) rice farmers were selected as sample from an updated list of 1010
farmers involved in rice production. Data were collected by a pre-tested
interview schedule during 10th February to 15th March, 2018 through face to
face personal interview. Simple and direct questions with different scales
were used to obtain information. Pearson's Product Moment Coefficient of
Correlation (r) was computed in order to explore the relationships between
the eight selected characteristics of the rice farmers and their extent of use
of modern agricultural machinery for rice production. Using Index of
Modern Agricultural Machinery (UIMAM) values ranged from 5 to 301
against the possible range of 0 to 303. Overall use scores of modern
agricultural machinery range from 8 to 24 against a possible range of 0 to
36. The mean and standard deviation were 14.25 and 3.85, respectively. It
was found that (94.1 percent) had “low use” compared to 5.9 percent had
“medium use” and none of them had “high use” of modern agricultural
machinery. Results showed that highest used was found in power tiller and
shallow tube wells UIMAM is 301 and 296, respectively and lowest used
was found in rice transplanter and winnower, UIMAM is 5 and 6,
respectively. Correlation analysis indicated that among eight selected
characteristics family size and farm size of the farmers had showed positive
significant relationship with their extent of use of modern agricultural
machinery. However, age, education, farming experience, annual income,
training received and attitude towards modern agricultural machinery did
not show any significant relationship with their use of modern agricultural
machinery. | en_US |
