| dc.description.abstract | The study was conducted during the year 1996 in Chikodi taluk of Belgaum district. Area under soy bean crop was used as the criterion for the selection of ranges, circles and villages for the study. Simple random sampling was employed for the selection of a sample of 144 farmers. Majority (69.45% and 67.37%) of the respondents belonged to medium level of knowledge and adoption of recommended practices of soy bean cultivation respectively. Cent per cent of the respondents adopted practices recommended varieties and spacing. Majority of the respondents had adopted sowing time (83.34%), application of FYM (72.92%) and seed rate (70.13%) as per recommendation. There was poor adoption in case of seed treatment (12.5%) and seed inoculation (43.5%). Eighty eight per cent of the respondents applied nitrogenous and phosphatic fertilizers. Whereas, only thirty seven per cent of the respondents applied potassic fertilizer. Majority of the respondents had adopted plant protection measures. Forty six per cent of the respondents had education upto primary and middle school. Majority (74.31%) of the respondents were cultivating soybean from the last three to five years. Majority (83.33% and 54.40%) of the respondents had medium level of economic motivation and scientific orientation. A significant relationship was observed between level of knowledge and personal characteristics of the respondents like education and land holding. Only education had significant relationship with adoption. The curve drawn on diffusion pattern of the crop interms of areawise spread appeared more or less 'S' shape. Whereas, the curve drawn on rate of adoption of soybean by farmers approached 'S' shape. Cost-benefit ratio at variable cost (Rs.3006.33) worked out to be 1:2.49. High cost of inputs, labours not available at sowing and harvesting time, disease problem, rhizobium, thiram and zinc sulphate are not locally available, price fluctuations in the market and in-adequate rains were the constraints faced by the soybean growers. | en_US |
