Both quantitative and qualitative research approaches were used to compare the improved technology with the local practice. Cost-benefit ratio, descriptive and inferential statistics were employed for quantitative analysis. Farmers’ technology preference and stakeholders’ linkage were assessed using Likert scale and SWOT analysis. The improved technology had 116.7% yield advantage over the local practice and was economically profitable. Nonetheless, the farmers were describing that full package application was tough due to lack of practical training, package complication and labor shortage in descending order. Except resistance to pest, most farmers had positive attitude towards identified preference parameters. Strengths and weaknesses of stakeholders in the promotion were recognized matching with opportunities and threats. Therefore, the improved technology is suggested for wider diffusion in the study area. Providing extension and training, on top of identifying viable sources and multiplying cooperatives to the technology would enhance the farmers’ uptake.","PeriodicalId":31386,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Extension Education","volume":"31 1","pages":"6370"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47776399","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}

The variables studied include the extent of utilization of marketing facilities, credit orientation and competition orientation. The study was conducted among 153 women dairy farmers, selected through the process of multistage random sampling from Ernakulam, Palakkad, and Thrissur districts of the state. Sharp contrasts with regard to the level of market utilization was observed among farmers with different herd sizes, while higher levels of market utilization were observed among around sixty percent of respondents with larger herd size. None of the respondents with small herd size had high level market facilities utilization. Extent of utilization of market facilities was positively and significantly associated with entrepreneurial behavior of the respondents. Similarly, respondents with larger herd sizes had significantly higher competition orientation scores when compared to those with smaller herd sizes. Most of the respondents in this study fell in the medium level of credit orientation. However, non-significant correlation was observed between credit orientation and entrepreneurial behavior. None of the respondents with more than two cows had low level of competition orientation. Most of the respondents fell in the medium level of competition orientation. Competition orientation was positively and significantly correlated with entrepreneurial behavior of the respondents.","PeriodicalId":31386,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Extension Education","volume":"31 1","pages":"6405"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45499822","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}

In this context, the role of extension and advisory services that are saddled with this responsibility should focus on novel approaches. Application of relevant information in agriculture sector brings positive impacts on farm productivity. Timely access to information on weather aspects, best farming practices, market information etc. help farmers to make correct decisions about what crops to plant, when to plant and where to sell their products. The best way to satisfy the rainfed farmers is to understand and consider their specific needs, constraints and capabilities properly, which helps to serve them in an efficient manner. A study has been undertaken to understand the different agricultural information needs of rainfed farmers in the Mahabubnagar district of Telangana state India. It is observed that farmers need various types of information related to agricultural activities and the major agricultural information needs of the farmers were found to be related to farm implements and machinery, water management, seed varieties, seed treatment, alternate crops and pest and disease management. In order to address these information needs, farmers were accessing a number of sources. It is important to enhance the information search capacity of the rainfed farmers to improve the farm productivity and income leading to enhanced livelihoods.","PeriodicalId":31386,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Extension Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43622382","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}

Ramapuram, Andarkulam and Manavalakurchi villages of Agastheeswaram and Kurenthenkode blocks of Kanyakumari district were purposively selected based on more area under TPS 5 rice cultivation. Sixty rice growers were selected from the villages based on random sampling method. The data were collected using pre-tested interview schedule and analyzed by using appropriate statistical tools. The results revealed that most of the respondents belonged to old age and had followed agriculture as a primary occupation. Most of the respondents had high level of extension participation. The analysis of extent of adoption indicated that seventy five per cent of the respondents adopted TPS 5 variety in Kannipoo season. More than eighty per cent of the respondents had adopted recommended seed rate, age of seedling and spacing. Non availability of quality seeds and machineries in time, high weed infestation and improper usage of pre-emergence herbicide, lack of knowledge on application of recommended fertilizer and pest management practices were the major constraints encountered by the respondents.","PeriodicalId":31386,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Extension Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46771460","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}

A survey based study was conducted to understand the knowledge level of areca nut growers and link to productivity vis-a-vis socio-economic status. For this purpose, 120 areca nut farmers from four villages of Harinagar Panchayat were randomly selected. Data collected were analysed following standard statistical procedures. The results showed that 52.5% of areca nut growers had poor knowledge of cultivation and marketing. The study also revealed that about 45% growers had poor knowledge about selection of suitable site, soil and spacing requirement for plants. The analysis of socio-economic factors with knowledge level of farmers revealed that knowledge of respondents increased with the increase in their education and land holdings whereas it was negatively correlated with age and annual income. Further, the study also suggests that, educating the farmers through mass media, capacity building and demonstration will help them in learning/ adopting new technologies, which in turn help them to increase their productivity level and farming income on sustainable basis.","PeriodicalId":31386,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Extension Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46800823","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}
