With respect to seed rate, 63.33 per cent of the respondents fell in the category of fully adopted, followed by partially adopted (36.67%). A little more than half of the farmers had medium adoption (61.67%) of recommended package of practices in chilli crop, followed by high (23.33%) and low (15.00%) adoption.
