This study was conducted in Indore district of Madhya Pradesh with the sample size of 120 Vegetable Growers. These 120 vegetable growers were drawn from 10 vegetable growing villages using proportionate random sampling technique. Based on the experts opinion, recommended vegetable cultivation practices were selected for studying the adoption behaviour. All the selected farmers were interviewed personally using a well-structured interview schedule. For the analysis of collected data, descriptive statistics like percentage and analytical statistics were used. The majority of the respondents faced several constraints in adopting the eco friendly management practices. High yielding resistant varieties were costly and thus the vegetable growers were unable to purchase those (81.66%). Moreover, less training on eco-friendly management practices was received by the farmers (76.66%) along with less subsidies and technical support from the government (62.50%). Low knowledge about the environmental issues (50%), less participation of the farmers in extension programmes (41.66%), and inadequate environmental education at the secondary level (29.16%) also hindered the adoption of eco friendly management practices.

An demonstration was conducted to disseminate the IPM approach for the management of pod borer, Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) in chickpea field. We are demonstrate IPM module -SDP + Optimum seed rate (75 kg/ ha) + Pheromone trap (10/ha) + Bird purcher (50/ ha) + inter cropping of mustard (10:1) + One spray of Neem based insecticide at 50 per cent flowering and second spray of Trizophos 40 EC at pod formation stage. The sowing of chickpea crop was II nd fortnight of October. Under demonstrated technology they reduce the larval population (44.4 %), reduce the pod damage (42.49 %) resulted enhance the yield (33.64 %). IPM technology are ecofriedly manage the pod borer, enhance the productivity as well as profitability.

Introduction – Total knee arthroplasty is considered as one of the most painful procedures in field of orthopedic surgery. In this study we intended to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of Local Infiltration Analgesia (LIA) with post-surgical single shot of adductor canal block in terms of good post-operative analgesia and early post- operative mobilization thus allowing faster rehabilitation and recovery and thereby improving the final outcome of TKA in long term. Material and method- A total of 60 patients were enrolled, 30 in each group. Group A received Standard General anesthesia & postoperative analgesia with a single shot of adductor canal block with 20cc of 0.25% ropivacaine along with intraoperative local infiltration analgesia. Group B also received Standard General anesthesia & postoperative analgesia with a single shot of adductor canal block with 20cc of 0.25% ropivacaine but intraoperative local infiltration analgesia was not administered in group B. Result- Group B patients required a greater number of rescue analgesic doses in comparison to Group A patients. The majority of the patients in Group A had early postoperative mobilization in comparison to Group B (p=0.003). Mean preoperative and 6-week postoperative WOMAC scores showed that difference was statistically significant (p=0.034), showing a significantly lower 6-week postoperative WOMAC score in Group A in comparison to Group B. Conclusion – Our study gives us a conclusion that intraoperative Local Infiltration Analgesia along with single shot of adductor canal block provides better post-operative pain relief & allows early mobilization of the patient thus enhancing the rehabilitation thereby improving the final outcome of the Total Knee Arthroplasty.
