Convenience sampling technique was used to select 30 samples from the three primary schools of Kottayam district. The tools for data collection included semi structured questionnaire for collecting demographic data and a self- administered standardized questionnaire to assess knowledge regarding ADHD among primary school teachers.

The result showed that among 30 subjects 6(20%) had poor level of knowledge, 24 (80%) had average level of knowledge and none of them had good level of knowledge regarding attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The study findings revealed that there is significant association between level of knowledge of primary school teachers and selected demographic variables such as gender, type of job, and any special training in child psychology. Result indicated that teachers’ greatest area of knowledge dealt with general information of ADHD. Teachers had lower scores related to identifying the symptoms and diagnosis and knowledge of treatments for the disorder. In conclusion, teachers in Kottayam district needed training on identifying symptoms and diagnosis and treatment of ADHD.

It is one of the most important pulse crops in India. Variability may be a greater need for initiating a breeding program for yield and yield contributing traits. A total of 30 lines, along with a check, were evaluated in Randomized Block Design (RBD) during Rabi 2020-21. Highest seed yield per plant was recorded by PHULE 4-5. All the traits showed significant variation among the lines. Number of seeds per plant, seed yield per plant, number of pods per plant showed high Genotypic Coefficient of Variation (GCV) and Phenotypic Coefficient of Variation (PCV), whereas seed index, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, showed moderate GCV and PCV. Traits exhibiting high heritability coupled with genetic advance as percent of mean suggest that the traits are governed by additive gene action, equal contribution of additive and non-additive gene action respectively. Genotypic correlation coefficient analysis revealed that seed yield per plant showed highly significant and positive association with harvest index (0.930**). Phenotypic correlation coefficient analysis revealed that seed yield per plant showed significant and positive association with number of pods per plant (0.493**), biological yield (0.457**), seed index (0.425**) and harvest index (0.362**). The path analysis results showed that positive and direct on grain yield was exhibited by harvest index, days to maturity, number of secondary branches per plant, number of pods per plant, biological yield per plant, seed index, days to 50% pod setting and seed index.","PeriodicalId":20915,"journal":{"name":"Research Journal of Science and Technology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78685544","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
