The research was carried outto assess the readiness of farmers toward crop residual management. For this study, Karnal, Kurukshetra, and Fatehabad districts were selected purposively according to the report of Haryana Space Applications Center (2018). The total number of the respondent understudy was 180. Data regarding socio-economic status, assets availability, source of information, and readiness of farmers were collected with the help of a structured interview schedule because some driving factors may affect the readiness of the farmer. A positive and significant relationship was found at a 0.01% level of Significantbetween the readiness of the respondents and operational land holding, annual income, farm assets, and source of information and with education at a 0.05% level of significance. So,making farmers aware of available management alternatives using the different extension and educational programs and by providing financial and technical backup it may reduce the rate of residue burning and increase the rate of adoption of management practices.
