dc.descriptionBreeders, seed institutions and extension agents in the Punjab are continuously working to evolve and disseminate varieties that are both high yielding and resistant to insects, pests and other diseases (Akhtar et al., 1987). Recommended rice cultivars are an important component of improved rice technology. Presently the extent of adoption of rice planted by farmers is not regularly reported and published in the Punjab. Due to the unavailability of such information, researchers and policy makers are not fully aware of farmers perceptions about rice varieties planted. To fill such gap, a regular monitoring of rice varieties on farmers fields has been started by AERU j Faisalabad. This exercise will help to assess the varietal diffusion and distribution with respect to farm size in the rice-wheat interface. Information on the relative areas planted to different rice cultivars is also important to alert rice breeders and policy makers to potential losses from insects, pests and other diseases of the rice crop. The major purpose in this paper is to determine the adoption of rice varieties grown by farmers over the past three years.
