| dc.description.abstract | The study was conducted in two taluks of Belagavi district selected based on maximum area under Bt cotton. A total of 120 Bt cotton growers were selected by using simple random technique from three villages from each taluk. The results revealed that majority of Bt cotton growers belonged to medium level of management efficiency (40.83%) and economic performance (63.33%). The characteristics such as education, land holding, extension contact, extension participation and scientific orientation had positive and significant relationship with management efficiency. Whereas experience in Bt cotton cultivation, land holding, annual income, extension participation, mass media exposure, economic motivation and innovative proneness had positive and significant relationship with economic performance. Major constraints faced by the Bt cotton growers were high cost of plant protection chemicals, inadequate credit and lack of market information. Hence, the Department of Agriculture should plan to educate the Bt cotton growers on functions of management and recommended Bt cotton cultivation practices. Further, motivate the farmers to adopt these practices in their fields. The positive and significantly related characteristics of farmers needs to be considered while selecting the farmers for the extension educational programmes. Also it should plan the strategies to minimize the inputs cost, provide adequate credit and market information to the Bt cotton growers to enhance their management efficiency and economic performance. | en_US |
