| dc.description.abstract | The present study was conducted during 2018-19 in two districts of southern Karnataka namely Chickaballapura and Mandya. From each district, two taluks were considered. Major farming systems in each taluk were identified after thorough discussion with extension professionals of KVK’s, line departments and interaction with farmers and two predominant farming systems were selected from each taluk. For each farming system 30 respondents were selected, hence, total sample size from four taluks was 240. The results found that nearly half (46.66 %) of the farmers practicing ‘maize+dairy’ farming system belonged to poor level of livelihood security, 40.00 per cent of ‘maize+dairy+horticulture’ practicing farmers belonged to average level, twofifth (40.00 %) of ‘sericulture+dairy’ practicing farmers belonged to better level, more than half (53.33 %) of ‘sericulture+dairy+horticulture’ practicing farmers belonged to average level, 66.66 per cent of ‘paddy+dairy’ practicing farmers belonged to poor level, 43.33 per cent of ‘paddy+dairy’ practicing farmers belonged to average level, two fifth (40.00 %) of ‘sugarcane+dairy’ practicing farmers belonged to poor level, more than half (53.34 %) of ‘sugarcane+dairy+horticulture’ practicing farmers belonged to average level of livelihood security. The result of Mann-Whitney U test indicates, there is a positive significant difference between livelihood security of farmers practicing ‘maize+dairy’ and ‘maize+dairy+horticulture’, ‘sericulture+dairy’ and ‘sericulture+dairy+horticulture’, ‘paddy+dairy’ and ‘paddy+dairy+horticulture’ and ‘sugarcane + dairy’ and ‘sugarcane+dairy+horticulture’ farming system at five per cent level. The result of Kruskal-Wallies one way ANOVA test value indicates that there is a significant difference among different farming systems practiced by farmers in both the districts. | en_US |
