It assesses the impact of soybean technology (varieties and package of practices) developed by ICAR’s All India Coordinated Research Project (AICRP) and State Agriculture Universities (SAUs) on production, productivity, efficiency, economy and economic and social benefits to its producers and suggests appropriate policy measures as a way forward. The book is unique in providing a comprehensive understanding of issues surrounding adoption of technology from farmers perspective. The benefit-cost ratio for expenditure on R\u0026amp;D and output has been assessed. It highlights the underutilization of inputs with existing technology as well as the potential of cultivation of soybean crop in dryland and rainfed areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"d_normalheder\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAbout the Author(s) \/ Editor(s)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"more\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eE.
