Farmer self-efficacy refers to Farmer’s judgments of his capabilities to organize and execute courses of action required to attain designated types of agricultural performance .
Self-efficacious farmers are more challenging in facing all the obstacles of farming. They are more sensitive to accept new ideas and more adaptive and innovative.
More adaptive, innovative and challenging farmers are important for agricultural growth of the country. High self-efficacy facilitates enhanced cognitive processes and performance. High self-efficacy for a specific situation allows one to deal better with uncertainty, distress, and conflict. As a result, it acts as preventive measure for psychiatric disorders and for heart attack.
Dutta Roy (2008) has noted that farmers with high self-efficacy motivate towards cultivation of multiple crops (Dutta Roy, 2008).
Gyan Mudra (2007) and TISS (2005) noted that low self-efficacious farmers commit suicide.
