In order to evaluate farmers' response to the new rice and bajra varieties, the Indian Institute of Management at Ahmedabad undertook an intensive study of two districts -- Mehsana District in Gujarat for a study of hybrid bajra, and Thanjavur District in Tamil Nadu, for a study of ADT-27, a new high yielding rice variety. In each district, use of input, yields and prices were collected from approximately 60 farmers, who had adopted the new varieties of seed on some part of their acreage, and approximately 40 who had grown only the traditional varieties. A regression framework is used to examine factors affecting the extent of adoption of ADT-27 in Thanjavur. This is supplemented by comparative production function analysis of ADT-27 and traditional rice varieties. Hybrid and local bajra are compared, again with production function analysis. Finally, an assessment is made of ADT-27 and hybrid bajra as to their suitability for the small farmer.
