| dc.description.abstract | The present study was carried out during 2018-19 to analyse the knowledge and attitude level of farmers about Soil Health Card (SHC). Out of 120 soil health card holders 60 farmers were selected from each Mandya and Maddur taluks of Mandya district. The respondents were randomly selected for the study. Data was collected using a pre-tested interview schedule. A larger number of the farmers (49.16%) had medium level of overall knowledge regarding SHC, while 27.50 and 23.33 per cent of the farmers had high and low level of overall knowledge regarding SHC, respectively. It was also found that a majority of farmers (80.00%) were having favourable to more favourable attitude towards SHC. Education, achievement motivation, management orientation, scientific orientation, cosmopoliteness, mass media exposure, risk orientation, extension agency contact and extension participation of farmers had significant to highly significant association with their knowledge and attitude towards SHC. Around 70 and 72 per cent of the variation in the knowledge and attitude level of farmers respectively was explained by all the 14 independent variables selected for the research study. Delay in distribution of soil health cards, fertilizer calculations are not given in SHC, difficulty in following the soil test based results, illiteracy of farmers, lack of awareness regarding method of soil sampling and inadequate follow-up by extension agency were the major problems faced by the farmers. | en_US |
