Study on knowledge and adoption of green gram production technology by farmers in Chhotaudaipur district of Gujarat

Abstract

SUMMARY :Farmers had average knowledge about improved practices of green gram cultivation in the Chhotaudaipur district of Gujarat. Farmers possessed comparatively more knowledge about high yielding varieties and time of sowing. Minimum knowledge was possessed in plant protection measures and fertilizer application in greengram cultivation and majority of greengram growers were in medium adoption group followed by low and high adoption group. Greengram growers adopted high yielding variety, seed rate and spacing and time of sowing. Minimum adoption was found in fertilizer application and plant protection measures of improved greengram production technology. The majority of farmers belonged to the middle age group i.e., between 30-54 years. It was further found that 63.0 farmers belonged to the up to secondary category of educational level. The majority of farmers were having more than 2.00 ha land followed by small farmers and marginal farmers in the study sample.

“…These results are in line with findings of Dhayal and Mehta (2018), Rajbhar et al (2018), Momin et al (2021) and Rajan et al (2021).…”

Extent of adoption of pigeonpea technologies and production challenges of pigeonpea farming in Kalyana-Karnataka region

“…It can be inferred that cent percent of adoption of technologies were found in case of sowing time by both TS 3R and GRG 811 growers. Similar results were reported by Islam et al (2013) [7] , Dhayal and Mehta (2015) [5] and Brunda, (2018) [3] , wherein majority of farmers who adopted the recommended technologies were found to be more with respect to time of sowing. The highest percent of adoption in TS 3R variety cultivators were seed rate and intercultivation.…”

Adoption Outcomes of Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Central Research Institute for Dryland Agriculture Technologies by Farmers in South India

“…55% had no formal education; 62% had less than 30 years of farming experience; 42% had an annual income below Rs.25,000/-and 35% had an annual income ranging between Rs.25,000-40,000/-.The main crops in the village were paddy, cotton, maize, sorghum, pigeon pea and vegetables. With regard to age, similar results were reported by Dhayal and Mehta [18,19,20] in their studies that majority of the farmers who adopting different crop technologies were found in middle age group.…”
