Major Subject : Extension Education Year of award of degree : 2017 THESIS ABSTRACT The study was conducted in Wada and Palghar tahsils of Palghar district of Konkan region. The sample was constituted 120 rice growers drawn from twelve villages. The respondents were interviewed with the help of a specially designed schedule. The ex-post facto research design was used for the present study. The analysis of data revealed that majority of the respondents were „middle‟ age, had „secondary‟ education, „marginal‟ area under rice cultivation, „medium‟ rice yield and „medium‟ family size, were having „medium‟ annual income and „medium‟ experience in rice cultivation, had „low‟ extension contact, had „medium‟ input availability , had‟ medium‟ knowledge level. The data regarding adoption level about rice cultivation practices revealed that majority of the respondents had „medium‟ adoption of the selected agricultural technologies of rice crop. The data regarding practice-wise adoption revealed that the respondents had „partially‟ adopted high yielding variety, „use of wooden plough for puddling‟,„ application of fertilizer dose of 100 kg N, 50 kg P and 50 K/ha., „use of Vaibhav sickle‟, Application of insecticides such as Quinolphos, Monochrotophos and Phorate , Application of 3 gm thirum / kg seed‟, for control blast. The „fully‟ adopted practices were „Maintain water depth of 2-5 cm for period of 1 month after transplanting‟, „For small seeded varieties recommended seed rate is 35-40 kg/ha‟. The association between profile of rice growers and their adoption namely, area under rice cultivation, rice yield, annual income, experience of rice cultivation, input availability and knowledge level about rice technology and their extent of adoption of selected agricultural technologies was significant. However, the association of age, education, family size and extension contact with extent of adoption of selected agricultural technologies was non-significant. The major constraints faced by farmers in adoption of selected agricultural technologies of rice crop were shortage of labourers, unavailability of fertilizer at proper time and lower market price of produce, respectively. | en_US |
