| dc.description.abstract | This study was conducted in Kolar district of Karnataka state during 2019 with the objectives to understand the knowledge level of vegetable growers on the effects of agricultural chemicals and to ascertain their attitude towards mitigating the ill-effects of agricultural chemicals. The data was collected from 120 vegetable growers in Kolar and Malur taluks by applying simple random sampling using structured interview schedule. It was found that more than two fifth of the vegetable growers (42.50 %) possessed medium level of knowledge on the effects of agricultural chemicals, more than half of the vegetable growers. (52.50 %) had highly favourable attitude towards mitigating the ill-effects of agricultural chemicals. Further, it was found that the variables viz., education, farming experience, extension participation, mass media exposure, extension contact and risk orientation had significant association with both the knowledge and the attitude of vegetable growers. Nonavailability of personal protective equipments in the locality and high cost of personal protective equipments were the major constraints of vegetable growers in adopting mitigation techniques. Ensuring the availability of personal protective equipments in the nearby locality and supplying personal protective equipments at affordable cost are the important suggestions given by the farmers for better adoption of techniques for mitigating the ill-effects of agricultural chemicals. | en_US |
