A random sample of 100 coconut growers was interviewed for this purpose. Logit model was used to estimate the relationship of adoption decision and the socioeconomic factors of farmers. Results showed that that farm land extent, age, membership with social organization and participation in organization activities are the most significant factors affecting the adoption of improved coconut management practices.en_US
