      abstract = {The study was conducted in pulse growing areas of  Bangladesh during November 2003 to April 2004 for assessing  the farm level adoption status of improved pulse varieties  with farmers' attitudes toward pulse production. The  overall adoption of pulse varieties was very encouraging  since 44% of the farmers adopted improved pulses, and 52%  of the total pulse area was devoted to its production. The  highly adopted varieties were BARI Mash 1, 2 and 3; BARI  Lentil 4 and BARI Mung 4 and 5. Indigenous mungbean had  completely been replaced by improved varieties in the study  areas. The adopters plowed lands and sowed seed according  to the recommendation, but could not follow the recommended  sowing method and fertilizer doses. The significantly  higher probability of adopting improved pulse varieties  exists in extension services, influence of family member  and encouragement of neighbour. Farmers' attitude toward  improved pulse production was very positive since 63% of  the adopters wanted to increase their present area for  improved pulse production in the next year. On the other  side, various agro-socio-economic constraints made many  farmers pessimistic toward pulse production. The scarcity  of improved pulse seed was identified as a crucial problem  for its higher adoption at farm level.},
