Abstract: The current study was carried out in Kashmir Valley to determine the various barriers to adoption of selected scientific interventions that beneficiaries of Krishi Vigyan Kendra perceived. For the purpose of this inquiry, 358 beneficiaries were chosen at random. The study findings showed that the main constraint for farmers was “Lack of timely availability of planting material,” that is ranked first. Followed by the “Lack of timely availability of fertilizers/pesticides,” that is ranked second, and “Inadequate supply of other inputs likes organic manure vermi-compost,” this is ranked third. In case of suggestion given by the respondents to overcome a constraint, the agency should be fixed for various vital inputs that was ranked first, followed by a single window loan application system, was ranked second, and government-set prices for fertilisers and insecticides, was ranked third.
