Evans, cited reference, Sources of information vary with the farmers' socioeconomic status and type of practice for which information is sought. When the farmers are divided into three groups-innovators, early adopters, and late adopters-according to immediacy of response to an innovation-the innovators are found to utilize institutionalized sources, while late adopters rely more upon noninstitutionalized sources. The position of early adopters is intermediate. This relationship was tested by interviewing 246 farm families of Baraset region in West Bengal, India about their sources of information for nine improved agricultural practices. (original)
