The Pomegranate is cultivated as a commercial crop because of its high income generating capacity. The pomegranate needs a critical care at the production level and it enhances the need of consultancy service for the production. Hence, there are number of Private people working as consultants along with public extension personnel. The affordability of the growers to pay is a key factor for private extension in the area. The study was conducted in Hiriyuru, Chitradurga and Challakere taluks of Chitradurga district with a total sample size of 120 comprising 60 growers each under public extension and private extension systems. The "Ex-post fact" research design was used in the study. The 40 per cent of the growers were under medium adoption category in public extension services and under private extension service 40 per cent growers were found in high adoption category. The growers who were availed public extension services belonged to medium income category (43.33%). Whereas 45 per cent of growers from private extension service fall under high income category. The Benefit to cost ratio was highest in Challakere taluk (3.47) in case of private extension and in Public Extension the highest return was found in Hiriyuru (3.05). The results indicated that the farmers under private extension services obtained higher income by adoption of improved practices. This may be attributed to the facts that the private extension offer recent and competent technological information including marketing services on payment basis.

“…Yield losses are reflected in economic ones. Particularly, fruit losses are distributed among the field, wholesale, and retail sites referring to related transportation too; similar data are obtained for Indian [20,21] and South African markets [22,23]. In the field importance of injuries, cracking, and fungal infections is highlighted rather than secondary infections and physical damages (dehydration, overripening, etc.)…”

Due to well-known nutraceutical properties, pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) cultivation is recently increasing in various areas of the world including Italy. Fungal diseases are the major causes of postharvest yield and economic losses. Most of the fungi infect pomegranates in the field during the blooming stage remaining latent until fruit ripening, others infect fruit during harvest and postharvest handling through rind injuries. Main postharvest fungal diseases of pomegranates are gray and blue molds caused by Botrytis spp. and Penicillium spp., respectively, black heart and black spot due to Alternaria spp., anthracnose related to species ascribable to Colletotrichum genus, and Coniella rot, due to Coniella granati. Few fungicides are allowed for pre- and postharvest treatments, making it extremely difficult to control fungal infections. In this scenario, especially in organic fruit production, alternative control means may be a desirable solution to reduce pomegranate losses during the production chain. This chapter focuses on the most important postharvest diseases of pomegranates and possible strategies and means to reduce spoilage.

Agricultural extension plays a crucial role in the development of the agricultural sector and the dissemination of agricultural information. There are three extension methods, namely individual, group, and mass methods, that facilitate communication between extension workers and farmers. The study was conducted to examine the agricultural extension methods used by the public and private sectors before and during COVID-19 pandemic, and to investigate farmers’ preference of agricultural extension methods used by the public and private sectors before and during COVID-19 pandemic in the Zeyarthiri township, Nay Pyi Taw Union Territory. A total of 60 respondents from three villages were interviewed using structured interview questionnaires for quantitative and qualitative data in July 2022. The demographic characteristics, agricultural extension methods received by farmers, and farmers’ preference of agricultural extension methods by the public and private sectors were all collected. The descriptive analysis and paired sample t-test were used to compare agricultural extension methods used by both sectors. The Chi-square Friedman test was also conducted to analyze farmers’ preference on extension methods with a 5-point Likert scale (1932) before and during the pandemic in SPSS. In terms of farmers’ preference, they mostly liked farm and home visits under the individual method used by both sectors among other extension methods in this study area. It indicates that individuals can speak with extension staff members face-to-face during farm and home visits about anything they want to know. During COVID-19 pandemic, the farmers mostly preferred “TV” under the mass method. It means that TV is the best way, not only for COVID-19 restrictions but also for quick access to agricultural information during COVID-19 pandemic.
