Abstract
The present study was conducted during 2016-17 in 4 taluks of Kabini Command
Area of Karnataka (viz., Nanjangud and T. Narsipura taluks of Mysore district, Kollegala
and Yelandur taluks of Chamarajanagara district). Again, considering the highest
numbers of rice growing farmers in 12 villages were selected from all the 4 taluks and 10
rice growing respondents were selected from each village by applying simple random
sampling technique, thus 120 rice growers were selected as respondents for the study.
The findings revealed that the majority (60.00%) of the rice growers come under medium
overall knowledge category and 63.33 per cent of the rice growers come under medium
overall adoption category. With respect to yield levels of rice recorded by respondents,
majority (69.17%) of the rice growers were obtained medium level of yield, followed by
high (15.83%) and low (15%) level of yield. With respect to yield gap, IR-64 variety had
17.72 per cent, 11.73 per cent and 7.30 per cent of yield gap in marginal, small and big
farmer respectively. In case of Jyothi variety the yield gap was 18.63 per cent, 14.45 per
cent and 8.82 per cent in marginal, small and big farmers respectively. There were a
significant difference between the yield gap of IR-64 variety and Jyothi variety. Major
constraint faced by rice growers was delay in release of canal water (89.17%). The major
suggestion given by the rice growers was to release of canal water in time (92.50%).
