Hands on on farm demonstration plots side by side using appropriate controls and following up by field days and economic analysis.

In order for farmers to get convinced about the technology, demonstration plots have been widely used, which also worked well in India and elsewhere. But, I think, along with this, it is also important to incentivise the farmers through financial support or other backend systems, so that the responses will be positive. In India, the most recent promotion of micro irrigation systems across states (irrespective of farm size) is an excellent case in this context. We have documented some state-level evidence in the book, Micro Irrigation Systems in India: Emergence, Status and Impacts, Springer (2016), https://www.springer.com/de/book/9789811003462

Hi. To make the net free for all people.

Aref Wazwaz thank you sir

The only effective way seems to be the good old way of co-opting progressive farmers to adopt the Technology and the let the other small farmers follow.

I think plot demonstration method through contact farmers is the best way to disseminate modern technology among the small and marginal farmers. This is a common practice used in the extension field of agriculture in Bangladesh.

Md. Abul Kalam Azad Im agree with you sir, but is it possible that small farmers who are having very less land can adopt such high cost effective technology?

Emmanuel V Murray Thank you so much sir

Thanks Mr. Deepak Chand Meena. The expenditure during conducting the demonstration method should be carried by the Government.

Md. Abul Kalam Azad Thank You so much sir, I m agree with you

Agree with Aref Wazwaz, To make the net free for all people.

Use of mobile apps related to agricultural production

Participatory approach would be possibly applied.

One of the best way is to have an itinerant agronomist who gives a presentation or demonstration in villages. Written information is very often of no use for small farmers. Farmers usually do not trust foreigner agronomists, the specialist should speak the local language and when possible he/she should know the local traditions of villagers and the ways they cultivate their fields. One important point is also the cost of new technologies and their advantages to use it

Method to disseminate modern technology:

Development of Linkage between ICT and Agriculture Knowledge Management Process.

The best methods are sending regular messages by using Information Communication Technology (ICT) tools. Sending information through print & electronic media.

Mamerto Reyes Hernández Rajashekhar Mandla Mohammod Hossain Jean-Pierre Jost Lasaro Gomez Nawab Khan thank you so much to all for valuable suggestions

Agree with both of Dr's.Mohammod Hossain and Nawab Khan.....Best Regards....drnsrnsaid

In my area farmers belong to unions that they can lobby the government for changes to the industry. They are successful because they are many of them and speak with one powerful voice.

Firstly, the importance and advantages of disseminating modern technologies among farmers need to be introduced to local extension officers and farmers' unions. Because they are the people who are better connected with the farmer societies and easily convey the message. In addition, promotional activities relating to modern tech through reliable sources will be a promising way to reach the requirement. Among the ICT tools, mobile phones play an important role in accessing vital information at right time. Further, the features and interfaces of mobile phones are easily understood by the majority of farmers.

Linkage is needed amomg researches, extension workers and fermers

Agricultural extension workers can play a good role to transfer new technologies to growers.

Nawab Khan Agree with Nawab khan

I would like to add that TV, radio, farmer's newspaper/newsletter etc. and social applications can also play a good role. Thanks

Agricultural seed dealer can play a good role to transfer new technologies to growers.

Mohammod Hossain Akeel Mohamed Ihtisham M. Nawab Khan Michael Issigonis Nawab Khan Akeel Mohamed Mohammod Hossain Nawab Khan Nawab Khan Nesreen Mohamed El-Said. Thank you so much all researchers for good suggestion

I would like to add one more that is training can also play a good role for dissemination of modern technology.

Farmer trainers can play important roles to disseminate agricultural technologies such as mobilizing and training fellow farmers, hosting demonstration plots, bulking and distributing planting materials.

Governmental support is needed for disseminating technologies.

Hi. By spreading awareness using free net and media among the small and marginal farmers.

Spread awareness among small farmers and marginal farmers through the use of free internet and media.

Community-based dissemination approach is one of the best Techniques to disseminate modern technology.

Mohammod Hossain Nawab Khan Aref Wazwaz Sheikh Maniruzzaman thank you so much all the researchers for good inputs in this important discussion topic.

To disseminate technologies to farmers in a cost-effective way, the farmer trainer approach has the potential that is sustainable beyond project lifetimes.

Very important for future farmers

There are several methods to apply. However, it is easy to apply the Community-based dissemination approach for assessing the marginal farmers.

Good luck.

Agree with Dr.Nawab Khan

whether forecasting

assist farming communities and teach them on-site modern technologies, use, training and benefits in real time

Barlin Olivares Thank you so much for good input

Several methods can be applied. But, easy method is to apply the Community-based dissemination approach for assessing the marginal farmers. ATMA Model is also good. Please check it.

Article Innovative Approaches in Technology Dissemination: Experienc...

Today the scenario of farmers remain pathetic. Problems exist in many ways. Few are listed here: 1. Availability of workforce at nominal rates 2. Issues with direct marketing 3. varying demand patterns 4. viable solutions for simple issues. 5. Micro equipments for simple needs 6. Agile control over pests and weeds. 7. Water scarcity 8. Climatic changes 9. Agriculture and farming being less attractive for the younger generation for the reason it is less remunerative for the efforts needed. 10. Poor network among farmers at state and national level. 11. Illiteracy, ignorance and communication technology.

One of their foremost requirement is empowering farmers is with sustainable self reliant equipments at nominal cost.
