Abstract
The study was planned with the objectives to study the gain in knowledge of the respondents
after watching informative videos, to ascertain the effectiveness of the videos related to paddy
straw management, to study the satisfaction level of the farmers towards quality of videos on
crop residue management. A multi-stage sampling procedure, a quasi- experiment design, a
pre and post tests along with control group was applied. Four informative videos on crop
residue management techniques, in-situ residue management, ex-situ residue management and
fertilizer application were treatment in the study. Primary data was generated through
structured interview schedule. The data analysis frequency, percentages, t-test, paired t-test
and chi square were used. The results show that before treatments, there was non-significant
difference in knowledge score between control and experimental group. However, after
exposure to the videos a significant difference was observed in knowledge score from the
residue management technologies videos. Majority of the respondents were found to be
effective regarding different technical and scientific aspects of informative videos. Majority
of the respondents were found to be satisfied with the videos in terms of language used and
accuracy & credibility etc. The socio- personnel characteristics such as age, education, size of
land holding were found to be significantly associated with satisfaction of respondents
towards videos. Thus videos can be used as an effective medium of transferring agricultural
information and enhancing knowledge of recommended technologies among the farming
community.
