Abstract:The main focus of the study was to assess the extent of perception level of potato growers towards the potato production technologies. The study was carried out in the Rajshahi district which is considered as a part of the northwest area of Bangladesh. Two hundred thirty-two farmers were randomly selected as potato growers for data collection from twenty villages under the Upazilla namely, Mohonpur, Bagmara and Durgapur of Rajshahi district. A pre-tested interview schedule was used to collect the data from the respondents in July 2010 to February 2011. For measuring the perception of modern variety potato production technologies by the potato growers, 11 technologies for modern variety potato production were considered. Descriptive statistical measures such as number, percentage distribution, range, mean, standard deviation and coefficient of variation were used in describing the variable. More or less similar percentage (37%) of the growers had medium and high perception whereas 26.29 percent low perception. Analysis indicated that among the extent of perception of modern eleven technologies use of quality seed was at top highest ranking by the perception adoption index of 253.88, whereas plant spacing was bottom lowest. The perception variations in different technologies will not be improved unless intensive and effective steps are taken to increase grower's access to various information sources of agriculture which increase the knowledge and then perception.Keywords: Perception, production, technologies, potato.mvivskt Avjy Drcv`b cÖ hy w³i cÖ wZ Avjy Pvlx ‡`i aviYv ¯Í ‡ii gvÎv wbi"cY Kiv GB Aa¨q ‡bi gj D ‡Ïk¨| Aa¨qbwU evsjv ‡` ‡ki DËi-cwðgvsk wn ‡m ‡e we ‡eP¨ ivRkvnx †Rjvq Kiv n ‡qwQj| GB †Rjvi AšÍ M© Z Dc ‡Rjv †gvnbcy i, evMgviv Ges `M© vcy i Gi 20wU MÖ vg †_ ‡K ˆ`evwqZfv ‡e wbe© vwPZ 232 Rb Avjy Pvlx ‡`i KvQ †_ ‡K DcvË msMÖ n Kiv n ‡qwQj| Ry jvB/2010- †_ ‡K †deª "qvwi/2011 ch© šÍ DËi`vZv ‡`i KvQ †_ ‡K cẽ© cixw ¶Z mv ¶vrKvi mPx e¨envi K ‡i DcvË msMÖ n Kiv n ‡qwQj| Avjy Pvlx KZ… © K Dboe Z Rv ‡Zi Avjy Drcv`b cÖ hy w³i cÖ wZ aviYv cwigv ‡ci Rb¨ 11wU cÖ hy w³ we ‡ePbv Kiv n ‡qwQj| Pj ‡Ki eY© bvi Rb¨ eY© bvgjK cwimsL¨vwbK cwigvcK †hgb, msL¨v, kZKiv, †kª Yxe×, Mo, ó¨vÛvW© †Wwf ‡qkb Ges †KvBwdwm ‡q›U Ae †fwi ‡qkb e¨envi Kiv n ‡qwQj| djvdj †_ ‡K †`Lv hvq †h, Avjy Pvlx ‡`i ga¨g Ges D"P aviYvi K¨vUvMix Kg †ewk kZKiv (37%) GKB iKg wQj †hLv ‡b kZKiv 26.29 fvM cÖ hy w³i cÖ wZ Kg aviYvi Avjy Pvlx wQj| aviYvi Bb ‡W· †_ ‡K †_ ‡K †`Lv hvq †h, Avjy Drcv` ‡bi 11wU cÖ hy w³i g ‡a¨ Ô¸YMZ exR e¨enviÕ Gi aviYvi Ae¯' vb cÖ _g wQj Ges ÔMvQ jvMv ‡bvi `ĩ"Z¡ Õ wQj aviYvi me© ‡kl Ae¯' vb| Avjy Drcv` ‡bi 11wU cÖ hy w³i cÖ wZ aviYvi-cv_© K¨ ZZ ¶Y ch© šÍ e" w× cv ‡e, hZ ¶Y ch© šÍ wbweo I Kvh© Kwi c` ‡ ¶c MÖ nY K ‡i Avjy Pvlx ‡`i K… wli Z ‡_¨i wewfboe Dr ‡mi g ‡a¨ cÖ ‡ek Kiv ‡bv bv hvq hv Zv ‡`i Ávb cieZx© ‡Z aviYvi e" w× NUvq|
