Abstract
To assess the farmer`s point of view about the adoption of zero tillage technology a survey was conducted from massive demonstrations in pilot production programme of zero tillage wheat cultivation in rice-based cropping system of the Punjab. After observing good germination, more than 90% farmers told that zero tillage wheat cultivation is possible and it would be successful. Almost all farmers 591.1%) responded that zero tillage technology is cost saving. The other advantages observed by the farm­ers were; timely planting of wheat (43.2%), better fertilizer and seed placement (39.5%), better germination (37.8%), labour and time saving (26.2%), less weeds (23.3%), and more yield (16.7%). However, equipment used for zero tillage wheat technology has problems and constraints on the part of farmers for wider adoption.
