Abstract: The study was conducted in the jurisdiction of Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Sirsi of Uttara Kannada district during 2019-2021. Thirty beneficiary farmers of frontline demonstration (FLD) each from arecanut and pepper, thirty farmers trained in dairy management were selected forming a sample of 90 farmers. The farmers were interviewed using pre-tested schedule. It was found that education, family annual income, area under commercial crop, ICT utilization, extension participation, information seeking behavior, scientific orientation, resource base and nature of intervention had influenced the adoption behavior of the farmers. These variables together explained adoption to the extent of 81 per cent in case of arecanut, 79 per cent in pepper and 76 per cent in case of dairy farmers. The study revealed that majority (74.44 %) of the beneficiary farmers expressed climate change as major constraint followed by high cost of inputs (56.67 %), disease infestation (50.00 %), difficult to adopt (48.89 %), labor shortage (43.33 %), less clarity in technology (32.22 %), no person to guide while adopting (24.44 %) improved practices.
