An analysis of the data revealed that ‘IFS is a sustainable system’ occupied top rank with mean score of 2.81 followed by ‘IFS increases production and productivity per unit area’ (mean score of 2.28).The results indicated that the family income (r =0.4351), land holding (r =0.4153), source of irrigation (r =0.1924), farming system (r =0.4921), extension contact (r =0.5214), training attended (r =0.4917), innovativeness (r =0.5454) and mass media exposure (r =0.5602) were positively and significantly correlated (at 0.05 level of probability) with the need and interest of respondents towards IFS. The results of the study indicated that the multiple regression coefficient of family income, land holding, source of irrigation, extension contact, training attended, innovativeness and mass media exposure had significant “b†values in case of need and interest of farmers in adoption of integrated farming system.
