“…From table 1, it is evident that, in case of the cropbased module, more than half (57.69 %) of the beneficiary farmers had a medium level of knowledge, followed by 26.92 % and 15.38 % had a high level of knowledge and low level of knowledge, respectively. The results are in line with the findings of Biradar et al (2013), Uma and Sridhar (2014) and Gupta et al (2017). In case of the horticulture-based module, slightly less than half (47.06%) of the beneficiary farmers had a medium level of knowledge, followed by 29.41% and 23.53% had a high level of knowledge and a low level of knowledge, respectively.…”

The Farmer FIRST (Farm, Innovations, Resources, Science and Technology) Programme was initiated by ICAR in October 2016. The investigation tried to explore the knowledge level of beneficiaries about the demonstrated technologies under various modules of FFP and its association with a personal profile. The study was conducted in 2021 in the Jalalpore and Gandevi talukas of the Navsari District of South Gujarat as the project was implemented in this area only. The beneficiaries selected by random proportionate method from Crop, Horticulture, IFS, NRM, Livestock and Entrepreneurship, modules were 26, 34, 10, 25, 19 and 6, respectively. The study was confined to 120 small and marginal farmers. An ex-post facto research design was used. Twelve independent and one dependent variable were chosen. Results of the investigation showed that most of the beneficiaries had a medium level of knowledge regarding the livestock-based module (68.42%), IFS-based module (60.00%), crop-based module (57.69 %), and NRM-based module (56.00%). Half (50.00%) and less than half (47.06%) of the beneficiaries had a medium level of knowledge about the entrepreneurship-based module and horticulture-based module, respectively. The majority (62.50%) of the beneficiaries had a medium level of overall knowledge regarding demonstrated technologies under various modules of FFP. It was found that education, social participation, extension contact, innovativeness, economic motivation, and scientific orientation were found positive and highly significant. Whereas, occupation, annual income, and risk orientation were found to be positive and significant.

“…The first is independent pest control, where the degree and intensity of pest and disease control are chosen independently by farmers. This option has negative externalities and a positive control externality, 4,5 such as the limited knowledge of farmers and their inability to adopt new pest control technologies, that could hinder the effective control of pests and diseases, leading to low profits and poor living standards 6 . The second is joint control (a joint venture of farmers and organizations), by which farmers can benefit from integrated pest management (IPM) systems and their early warnings of pest and disease (group members can share necessary information and knowledge).…”

BACKGROUND In China, there are a lack of well‐established relationships regarding farmers' behavior and participation in farmer organizations. The main objective of this study was to explore the effects and mechanisms of organizational participation in the joint control of pest and disease among kiwifruit growers (within the members of organizations). To fulfill this objective, the present study utilized survey data from 577 kiwifruit growers collected from Meixian County, Shaanxi Province, China. A combined method utilizing the instrumental variable (IV) ordered probit and bootstrap multiple mediation effect models were employed to determine the effects of participation by farmers' organizations in the joint control of pest and disease among kiwifruit growers. RESULTS A positive relationship was found between organizational participation and the joint control of pests and diseases. The empirical analysis of this study found that organizational support, organizational learning and organizational norms have mediating effects in the process of farmers' participation in the joint control of pests and disease. It is essential to go beyond individual behavior and tackle group decision‐making at the farm level. CONCLUSION This study found a positive effect of organizational participation in joint pest and disease control mechanisms. Moreover, whether the farm is situated in the demonstration zone for kiwifruit cultivation, planting experience, planting area, whether there are people in the family who are village cadres, and the number of older adults in the family significantly positively affect the degree of pest and disease control. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry
