“…For relevancy analysis, the items were sent via email to 90 judges with instructions to critically evaluate each item for its relevance (Kumar et al, 2016;Kumar et al, 2021;Gupta et al, 2022) on a five-point continuum of highly relevant (HR), relevant (R), neutral (N), irrelevant (IR), and highly irrelevant (HIR). Out of 90 judges, 39 responded within a time frame of two months, while five judges' responses being rejected due to incomplete and ambiguous responses.…”

Rice-Wheat Cropping System (RWCS) is a principle cropping system followed in Indo Gangetic Plains (IGP). Though this monocropping system plays a key role in India’s food sufficiency, it has led to various problems such as soil degradation, groundwater exploitation, environmental damage, yield plateau etc., posing challenge and risk to its sustainability. The scale was developed during 2021-22 to assess the perception level of farmers about the sustainability issues in RWCS. Summated rating scale method by Likert with standardized procedures was used to develop this scale. A total of 54 items were collected and sent to experts for relevancy analysis. Based on the results of relevancy analysis, a schedule consisting of 43 items was used to conduct personally interviewed pre-test. The items were further screened for their differentiating ability and thus, the final scale consisted of 31 items. The scale was found to be valid and reliable as ascertained by content validity and split half test reliability method, respectively. The reliability coefficient of 0.884 indicated the higher internal consistency.

“…Scores were given for all these independent variables to assess their relationship with attitude (dependent variable). Also, in order to measure the farmers' attitude towards intercropping, various pre developed scales to measure the attitude (Kumar et al, 2015;Yadav et al, 2017;Shitu et al, 2018;Kumar et al, 2020;Gupta et al, 2022) were carefully studied they were given seventeen statements and the responses were obtained on a five-point continuum Likert-type (Thurston,1928) scale representing strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree, strongly agree. Further, all positive statements were given scores in order of 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 with 5 being strongly agree while 1 being strongly disagree whereas all negative statements were given score in the reverse order i.e., 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5 with 1 being strongly agree and 5 being strongly disagree.…”

Intercropping is a type of multiple cropping practices that involves the cultivation of two or more crops in definite proximity. The present study was conducted in dry and wet agro-climatic zones of Haryana in March, 2022. Bhiwani and Hisar districts were selected randomly from dry zone and Karnal and Kaithal districts were selected randomly from wet zone with an objective to assess the attitude of farmers toward intercropping. The data were collected personally from 120 respondents comprising 30 from each district through a structured interview schedule. Findings revealed that more than three-fifths of the respondents (50.83%) had a more favourable attitude towards intercropping system whereas 36.67 per cent had a favourable attitude and 12.50 per cent had a less favourable attitude towards the intercropping system. Further, Analysis of the relationship between level of attitude & profile of farmers revealed that education and mass media exposure were found highly significantly associated with the level of attitude of farmers toward intercropping whereas a significant association was found between age, family type, social expectations, inheritance with level of attitude of farmers toward intercropping system. The paper recommends training of farmers on better utilization of mass media and the training will help farmers in increase in their knowledge level by using mass media and with improved knowledge farmers will have more positive attitude towards intercropping.

“…The reliability of the scale was measured by using Cronbach's Alpha and the reliability coefficient was found to be 0.80 which was satisfactory. A recent study on attitude scale construction by Gupta et al, (2022), mentioned that split half (odd-even) reliability testing method can also be used for assessing the reliability of the tools developed. Meeting all the criteria of scale reliability and validity, finally 25 items under 8 broad heads are considered to form a standardized attitude scale for assessing the attitude of farmers towards Conservation Agricultural practices in wheat.…”

Attitude exhibits a pivotal role in influencing one’s behaviour towards any psychological object. The present study aimed at developing and validating a multi-dimensional attitude scale on Conservation Agricultural practices based on Maheshwari–Kumar–Jhamtani– Bhaskaran–Dandapani (M-K-J-B-D) method. The steps included item collection, item selection, item analysis, conducting Principal Component Analysis to extract the underlying dimensions and finally calculation of attitude scores. A total of 75 attitudinal items were pooled initially covering various aspects of Conservation Agriculture (CA) and were subjected to item relevancy checking and item analysis. The final scale contained 25 attitudinal statements under eight sub-dimensions. The reliability of the scale was measured by using Cronbach’s Alpha and the reliability coefficient was found to be 0.80 which was satisfactory. The validity was assessed using content validity method by dispensing the finalized scale to 10 subject related experts. This standardized scale can be used by other academicians of related fields with or without modifications to measure attitude of farmers towards different aspects of Conservation Agriculture.
