Abstract
A study was conducted to investigate the
factors that influence the adoption of improved
coconut management practices in Batticaloa district. A
random sample of 100 coconut growers was
interviewed for this purpose. Logit model was used to
estimate the relationship of adoption decision and the
socioeconomic factors of farmers. Results showed that
that farm land extent, age, membership with social
organization and participation in organization
activities are the most significant factors affecting the
adoption of improved coconut management practices.
