dc.description.abstractTobacco is an important commercial crop of India, though the tobacco crops occupied hardly 0.25 per cent of the total cropped area in the country but it contributed about Rs. 500 crores of foreign exchange and Rs. 3132 crores of central excise to the national exchequer (Kori and Murugesan, 1995), It is a " rich man's solace and a poor man's comfort". It is consumed by rich and poor people of all the nations in one form or the other. Among all the tobacco producing states of India, Gujarat occupied second position next to Andhra Pradesh in area and first in production. Tobacco cultivation is largely concentrated in Middle Gujarat, comprising districts of Kheda, Vadodara and Panchmahals. Kheda district alone accounted about 73 per cent area and 74 per cent production of tobacco in the state (Patel, 1995). Tobacco is one of the major crop of Anand, Nadiad and Thasra talukas of Kheda district but the average yield of tobacco was lower as compared to yield gained from demonstration plot of Bidi Tobacco Research Station, Anand. As tobacco is long duration crop and cultivated into two distinctive parts i.e. (i) raising of tobacco nursery for seedlings and (ii) cultivation of the tobacco in the field. For successful tobacco cultivation quality seeds and seedlings are essential inputs. This affects the quality and quantity production of tobacco. Experiences of the past few years indicated that majority of the tobacco growers largely depends either on private nurseries or research station for their seedlings requirement. This is because of the farmers fail to raise tobacco nursery of their own. To overcome the problems of raising tobacco nursery successfully, tobacco growers required to be made fully aware and knowledgeable about recommended technology of tobacco nursery management. This can be done through imparting proper training. But for effective training, the first essential step is to identify training needs of the tobacco growers in relation to tobacco nursery management, Keeping in view these aspects, the present study entitled "ASSESSMENT OF TRAINING NEEDS OF TOBACCO GROWERS WITH REGARD TO TOBACCO NURSERY MANAGEMENT IN KHEDA DISTRICT OF GUJARAT STATE" was undertaken.en_US
