Abstract
The role of the public and private sectors in the context of agricultural extension services regarding fertilizers, recommended improved quality seeds and pesticides were analyzed in detail in the previous paper. The present paper gives an account of the findings of the study and the research analyses. The findings of the research study indicate that around two third of the farmers were found using the recommended quantity and type of fertilizer appropriately and fulfill all the required conditions of the best use. They were mainly persuaded for the use of proper quantity of fertilizers by agriculture department, fellow farmers and elders. A large number of farmers were reported to be having poor knowledge about the use of appropriate quality seeds type. The private sector was found to be dominant in case of seed supply. Regarding the use of pesticides by the farmers the data reveals that on the average, around 70 % use pesticides regularly, while 19% occasionally and 11% do not use at all.
