Abstract: Field extension may mean many things to many people, but what we mean by this is the production of desirable change in farmers behavior which is reflected in their field. The researchers and policy makers considered it as a vital impediment in enhancing agricultural production quite earlier and concentrated their efforts on the transfer of improved cultivation techniques amongst farmers. The efforts were focused mainly on increasing area coverage under agricultural innovations and scientific methods of cultivation at quicker pace.
Keywords: Agricultural innovation, Cultivation, Production, Farmers
