Abstract
Much of the research and extension effort in India in connection with the development and release of modern varieties (MV's) since the mid-1960's has revolved around the concept of a "package of pratices".

The implication with farmers and others seem to derive from the literature on MV's is that unless they include all parts of the input package at their "recommended" levels, then MV technology will not be of any benefit...
