Summary, etc.	A study was conducted in Kottayam district to find out the causes and <br/>consequences with respect to the nature, extent and conversion (composite index <br/>developed from nature and extent) of marginal homesteads for planting rubber. The <br/>respondents included 200 convertors and 100 non-convertors. <br/>The study revealed that outmigration of hired labour, availability of hired labour, <br/>farming experience and perception about attributes of rubber cultivation could explain <br/>the maximum discrimination between convertors and non-convertors. <br/>Among the eighteen independent variables selected, availability of family labour <br/>and number of crops emerged as the most important factors influencing conversion. <br/>Gross cropped area and number of crops could explain the maximum variability of <br/>conversion. Net area under rubber was the factor which exerted maximum influence <br/>on other variables effecting conversion. <br/>The most important consequences of conversion expressed by convertors were <br/>outmigration of hired labour, outmigration of family labour, soil loss (erosion) based on <br/>magnitude and decrease in water availability, increase in social status and decrease <br/>in water table based on directionality. <br/>Community based land use strategy which involved production and sharing of <br/>farm produce among groups of individual homesteads based on similarity of <br/>topography, soil type, water resource dependence, local needs may become inevitable <br/>to sustain and maintain the diverse requirements of local communities in place of <br/>conversion of homesteads to monocrops like rubber alone. Rubber could only become <br/>a part of such land use systems. <br/><br/>
