Green revolution in our country, while ushering the much needed self-sufficiency in food production also paved way for intensive use of chemicals. At present, the concern for environment is increasing and both scientists and farmers are searching for eco-friendly agricultural technologies. The eco-friendly agricultural technologies are recommended by extension workers and practiced by farmers. Eco-friendly agricultural technologies are simple, low cost, and pollution free techniques and operations that are socially and economically accepted. Eco-friendly agricultural technologies have demonstrated their ability not only to produce safer commodities but also to produce bio-diversity at all levels. Hence, the present study was taken up to assess the adoption behaviour and constraints faced by the farmers regarding adoption of eco-friendly technologies. The study reveals that 47.50 per cent of the farmers found to possess medium level of adoption and 32.50 per cent were found to possess low level of adoption. Lack of knowledge to identify the bio-agents was the foremost constraint expressed by majority of the farmers.
