Small and marginal holders of farming community plays a vital role in the agricultural productivity, enhancing climate resilience and food security. Much research on adoption of agriculture technology has focused on its agronomic benefits, but little attention has been paid to the contribution of the behavior of the farmers over its adoption process. To bridge the gap, a study is proposed to investigate the behavior of small farm holders towards the adoption of the Onion (Agri found light red) cultivar in district Dehradun (Uttarakhand). Farm Science Center has identified ecologically suited and having better self-life onion cultivar (Agri found light red) for the region. Seedlings of the onion variety Agri found light red are being distributed among the farmers from more than twelve years and the seedlings of onion are popular in the farming community. The data is gathered through a pretested questionnaire administered to 120 farmers selected through random sampling method along with key informants’ interviews and personal observations. Out of ten characteristics studied age, education, area under onion crop, irrigation facilities, social participation, sources of information and scientific orientation, were positively and significantly correlated with knowledge and adoption level. Likewise, land holding was positively and significantly correlated only with knowledge and non-significantly correlated with adoption. The annual income of the respondents was non-significantly correlated with both knowledge and adoption.
