James F. Evans Collection, All 143 farmer respondents of Amritsar Intensive Cattle Development Project were aware of breeding input but not of feeding input. Distinct patterns of communication source utilization were noticed in adoption of animal production inputs. Both formal and informal communication sources were almost equally utilized in awareness stage. Informal communication sources were given greater patronage in evaluation stage. Formal communication sources were utilized more in interest and adoption stages. However in trial stage, relatively compatible innovations like feeding input clustered around informal communication sources in contrast to breeding input in which more formal communication sources were contacted. For promotion of animal production inputs, therefore, animal husbandry extension programmes should give due consideration to implications of formal/informal communication sources as associated with stages in adoption.

papers move beyond the questions of who adopts technologies to ask how preferences for characteristics (of maize in Mexico or cattle in Burkina Faso) affect adoption and how technical change differentially affects semi-subsistence farmers and how it affects productivity and yield variability.
