extension contact and mass media exposure were<br />
the major pillars for diffusing information to farming<br />
community there is every scope to improve these<br />
two components so as to utilize the extension<br />
personnel and mass media for strengthening their<br />
knowledge and skills. Psychological variables <strong>of</strong><br />
sugarcane farmers i.e. Social participation, scientific<br />
orientation, management orientation and innovativeness<br />
were found to be medium and this indicates that these<br />
variables are the inherent igniters for the human beings.<br />
Hence, there is need to organize training programmes,<br />
group discussions, brain storming sessions, exposure<br />
visits etc. for sugarcane farmers and provide a platform<br />
to utilize these variables effectively in sugarcane<br />
cultivation.<br />
