The study was conducted in Vijayapura district of Karnataka during 2020 to study the socio-economic profile of fruit crop growers and their relationship with entrepreneurial behaviour. Forty each grape, lime and pomegranate growers were selected by use of simple random sampling technique. Thus, making a total sample size of 120. The statistical tools such as mean, standard deviation, frequency, percentage and chi square test were used to draw valid inferences. The findings revealed that more than two fifth (42.50%) of the fruit crop growers belonged to middle age group, one fourth of them had middle school education, nearly half (48.33%) were practicing crop production as main occupation, more than two fifth (43.33%) of them were found to have medium sized family, more than one third (37.50%) of them had medium experience in fruit crop cultivation, nearly half (49.17%) of the fruit crop growers were small farmers, 35.00 per cent of them were found under medium income category. More than two fifth (43.33%) of them were found to have medium level of social participation, 40.83 per cent of them had medium level of mass media exposure, extension participation and deferred gratification, 45.00 per cent of them had medium level of value orientation, two fifth (40.00%) had medium level of self-reliance and more than one third (35.00%) of them belonged to medium level of cosmopoliteness.

“…The scale developed by Shirur [8] with suitable modifications was used to study the dependent variable, entrepreneurial behaviour. It was operationally defined as a function of eleven dimensions i.e., innovativeness, decision making ability, achievement motivation, leadership ability, economic motivation, knowledge of farming enterprise, ability to co-ordinate farm activities, risk orientation, information seeking behaviour, scientific orientation and management orientation.…”

The study was conducted following ex-post facto research design during 2020 to analyse the entrepreneurial behaviour of fruit growers of Karnataka. Forty each grape, lime and pomegranate growers were selected from Vijayapura district by use of simple random sampling technique. Thus, making the sample size of 120. The findings revealed more than two fifth (42.50%) of grape growers, two fifth (40.00%) of lime growers and 37.50 per cent of pomegranate growers belonged to medium level of entrepreneurial behaviour. With respect to overall entrepreneurial behaviour, more than one third (37.50%) of the respondents had medium level of entrepreneurial behaviour followed by high (33.33%) and low (29.17%) levels. Considering the dimension wise entrepreneurial behaviour of fruit crop growers, significant percentage of them belonged to medium category of innovativeness (38.33%), decision making ability (41.67%), achievement motivation (38.33%), knowledge on farming enterprise (41.67%), risk orientation (40.83%), information seeking behaviour (34.17%), ability to coordinate farm activities (44.17%), economic motivation (38.33%), leadership ability (38.33%), scientific orientation (36.67%) and management orientation (45.00%). The study also revealed that there was a significant difference in the mean entrepreneurial behaviour among grape, lime and pomegranate growers. Regression analysis was carried out to see the effect on independent variables on entrepreneurial behaviour.

In this study, we assessed 26 economic characteristics and yields of the mature fruit of 40 superior Camellia oleifera Abel plants grown at the C. oleifera germplasm resource nursery in the low-hot valley area of Southwest Zuizhou, China, using principal component analysis (PCA). Correlations among the characteristics and the variability of the plants in these characteristics were also analyzed. Out of the 26 characteristics, 16 primary economic characteristics were selected for comprehensive assessment, based on the results of which the plants were ordered to obtain excellent C. oleifera germplasms. The data were subjected to PCA, and the 16 characteristics were integrated into 6 independent comprehensive indices, which included PV1 (single-fruit weight), PV2 (pericarp thickness), PV3 (seed rate), PV4 (total unsaturated fatty acids), PV5 (iodine value) and PV6 (dry seed rate). Then, the sum of the products of the contribution rates of the components and components scores was taken as the comprehensive score of each superior plant. In C. oleifera grown in the low-hot valley area, the oil yield exhibited very significant positive correlations with the dry seed rate and kernel rate but a very significant negative correlation with the 100-seed weight. The dry seed rate exhibited very significant negative correlations with the fruit diameter and fresh seed rate. Among the 26 characteristics, the variations of the acid value, peroxide value, number of fertile seeds, 100-seed weight and single-fruit weight were great; those of the fruit diameter, fruit height, kernel yield, oleic acid and total unsaturated fatty acid were small, showing strong genetic stability. According to the obtained comprehensive scores, the top 10 plants were ordered as follows: CY-6 > CY-13 > CY-31 > CY-11 > CY-16 > CY-22 > CY-28 > CY-23 > CY-24 > CY-29. This result was basically consistent with the ranking result according to the average yield per unit crown width within five years. In the low-hot valley area of Guizhou, C. oleifera exhibits excellent performance in single-fruit weight, total unsaturated fatty acids and kernel rate, 6 characteristics, i.e., acid value, peroxide value, single-fruit weight, the number of fertile seeds, 100-seed weight and α-linolenic acid possess high breeding potentials.
