“…The cultivation is increased by 53 per cent from 1993-94 to 2009-10 along with the yield (Kulkarni, et al, 2012). In Kolar cashew is cultivated in an area of 2,210 ha (Maruthi Prasad et al, 2015). It is highly suitable for the climatic conditions of Kolar district since it comes up very well in deep well drained sandy loams and prefers optimum monthly mean temperature of 25 degree centigrade and an annual rain fall of 1000 mm or more which can tolerate drought.…”

“…The use of high yielding cultivars has led to a continuous rise in cashew productivity and production. But the productivity of both India and Odisha is quite low and decrease in cashew productivity is contributed by nonadoption of scientific cultivation practices, no or less adoption of proper nutrient management practices (Maruthi et al, 2015). Though cashew is grown and perform well under unfertile and waste land in rainfed condition, but it responses well to manures and fertilizers application.…”

Background: Cashew being a hardy crop is able to thrive and produce yield under low nutrient management practices yet suffers low productivity as the yield potential of plant is not expressed. Persistence of low productivity of cashew in Odisha is due to inconsequence of old senile plantation of seedling origin under unfertile, marginal lands as well as no proper adaptation of scientific nutrient management practices. Methods: Present investigation was carried out at All India Coordinated Research Project on Cashew, Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology, Bhubaneswar, Odisha during 2021-2022 and 2022-23 to evaluate the effect of nutrient management practices on yield attributing traits and physico-chemical properties of cashew cv. Balabhadra in randomized block design with six treatments and four replications. Result: Treatment schedule i.e., 100% RDF+10 kg FYM/plant/year+ Foliar spray of major nutrients (3% urea+0.5% MAP+1% K2SO4)+ Foliar spray of secondary and micro-nutrients (0.5% ZnSO4 + 0.1% Solubor + 0.5% MgSO4) witnessed better performance of cashew for most of the yield attributing traits and biochemical properties of cashew under study. Pearson correlation coefficient analysis revealed positive association of yield relevant traits (P less than 0.001) and negative correlation for apple length and TSS of cashew apple.

Information plays a crucial role in technology realisation and its utilisation. Farmers invariably require clear, accurate, current and context-specific information for informed decision making. Cashew is an important plantation crop with a long gestation period necessitating the need for long term planning for the sustainable development of farmers’ livelihoods. Considering the importance of the crop to the Indian economy, the present study attempted to understand the information needs of cashew growers, their sources of information and their information search behaviours in non-traditional areas where the crop is gaining prominence. Understanding the information dynamics of cashew farmers who are predominantly smallholders is vital for the extension agents and policymakers to design and implement tailor made extension strategies that benefit the cashew sector. The study highlights that farmers need information on the cashew varieties suitable to their region, crop protection measures such as pests and diseases and non-crop information. Farmers’ information needs with respect to standard agronomic and horticultural practices were found to be less important as most farmers prefer cashew due to less labour intensive nature of the crop. The study results also illustrate that organisational communication channel was a prominent source of information in the study region and most farmers accessed public organisations followed by fellow farmers for information on cashew. The study suggests that farmers prefer personal contact and ICT based methods for information exchange. Using cluster analysis, farmers were segmented based on their information search behaviour and the main search behaviour was moderate search accounting for 65% of the surveyed respondents. Reaching the low search farmers constituting 27% of the sampled farmers should be an important consideration while designing any cashew related extension intervention in the study area.
