there
Some
farmers
have
adopted
improved
technologies
in
the
past
But
some
did
not
?
Can
I
use
past
trends?
Perhaps
yes

Why
not
to

Objec(ve
:
To
develop
a
proxy
index
to
iden(fy
areas
having
high

for

of
new

using
the

10. Conclusion
PTAI,
a
proxy
index
can
be
a
very
handy
tool
in
absence
of
detailed
bio-‐physical
datasets
PTAI
can
be
used
for
quick
dissemina(on
In
favourable
area
where
score
is
high
or
very
high.
Composite
Index

Ex.
Domains+PTAI
will
further
improve
the
chances
of

Further
study
is
needed
to
validate
and
improve
the
Index
