Abstract: The present study aims to study the adoption of various crop husbandry practices by the tribal and non tribal farming communities. The findings of this investigation relied on the primary data collected from 480 farm families using stratified random sampling method. Rice was found as the major crop of both the tribal and non tribal areas during wet season. Grasspea and chickpea were the popular rabi crops amongst the non tribal areas, whereas the cultivation area of crops after rice in tribal areas was found quite less with low cropping intensity. Broadcasting method of rice cultivation is still popular in both the areas. The productivity levels of most popular crops in tribal areas are far behind than the non tribal areas except wheat may be due to the poor plant nutrient management in such areas. Thus the significant difference in nutrient application can overcome by imparting training and capacity building programs for all the farmers in general and tribal farmers in particular. The findings of this study further envisaged the need of intensive extension efforts and input support to the tribal farming communities for better adoption, enhanced productivity and profit maximization for equitable growth and development.
