      abstract = {Awareness and adoption of chemical weed control in peanut  farming and the use of communication channels among peanut  cultivating farmers was studied. One and a half years after  its introduction 17% of the farmers had adapted this  innovation. A large group was still not aware of the  innovation. Lack of knowledge was the major constraint to  its adoption. Adescription is given of the process by which  information on improved farm practices goes from the  source, in this case the Agricultural Experiment Station,  to the farmers. Constraints which may have hindered a more  effective flow of information to the farmer are discussed.},
