“…It may also bridge the knowledge gap between growers and researchers and the harvest gap between grower's fields and research stations [6,7]. Thus, it may also help growers raise turnover more quickly and enjoy enhanced livelihood stability, the opportunity to send their kids to a good school, a reliable source of revenue, and less vulnerability [8,9]. On the basis of this environment, an effort was undertaken to create a knowledge test on Rubber Plantation Development and Extension Scheme for rubber growers in North East India.…”

To assess the expertise of rubber growers, a knowledge test was created. The majority of the 37 questions were created by endorsing reasonable thinking above root memorization and to distinguish between competent rubber growers who are less competent. The results of the sample respondents' scores were subjected to item analysis, which included calculating the item difficulty index and the item discrimination index. The scale used for the final selection has 17 items with difficulty indices between 36.66 and 60 and discrimination indices between 0.58 and 0.73. The reliability of the knowledge test under development was examined using the Split-Half method, and it was found to be 0.722. Aims: To construct a knowledge test to assess rubber growers’ knowledge on Rubber Plantation Development and Extension Scheme. Study Design: Descriptive study. Place and Duration of Study: Karimganj, Assam, between January 2021 and December 2022. Methodology: A no. of items were collected and 37 items were kept. The majority of the 37 questions were created by endorsing reasonable thinking above root memorization and to distinguish between competent rubber growers who are less competent. 37 questions were pretested to 30 random rubber growers. Results The results of the sample respondents' scores were subjected to item analysis, which included calculating the item difficulty index and the item discrimination index. Conclusion: The scale used for the final selection has 17 items with difficulty indices between 36.66 and 60 and discrimination indices between 0.58 and 0.73. The reliability of the knowledge test under development was examined using the Split-Half method, and it was found to be 0.722.

“…Kiwi vines can be grown on a wide range of soil types at elevations ranging from 1000 to 2500 masl (Amkraut, 2017) Three main species of kiwi fruit are grown throughout the world: Actinidia deliciosa, Actinidia chinensis and Actinidia arguta. Actinidia deliciosa includes cultivars like Hayward, Abbot, Allison, Bruno and Monty while Actinidia chinensis includes Red Kiwi, Hort 16, Golden kiwi (Koyu et al, 2019). These emerging fruits are very new for both producer and consumers and these days Kiwi fruits getting popularity in major department store and super market of major cities of Nepal.…”

The survey research entitled “Constraints faced by Kiwi fruit farmers in Ilam Municipality and Sandakpur Rural Municipality of Ilam District” was conducted to access the problem faced by kiwi fruit farmers of Ilam district. For the study, 80 households were selected using simple random sampling method. 40 households each from Ilam Municipality and Sandakpur Rural Municipality were selected. The study shows that the production is in slightly increasing rate in both Ilam Municipality and Sandakpur Rural Municipality. In both Sandakpur and Ilam areas, 25 and 20 percent farmers are producing seedlings in their own nursery respectively and rest of seedlings requirement is met from other nursery. The major problem was wild animal Kala at Ilam and Sandakpur. Unavailability of quality saplings, lack of male and female plant management in field, lack of modified storage and lack of refrigerator van were major constraints of Ilam Municipality. Lack of cemented support system, lack of training and pruning knowledge, lack of modified storage and poor connectivity of road were major constraints of Sandakpur Rural Municipality. Overall constraints of Ilam was technical factors whereas of Sandakpur was disease and pest constraints. Despite of all these constraints, the B:C ratio was 2.67 and 2.53 in Ilam and Sandakpur respectively, which means that the kiwi cultivation is profitable.
