dc.descriptionThe present investigation was carried out in Akola and Buldana Districts of Vidarbha region of Maharashtra state. The shadenet owners who were continuously using shadenet from last 3 years and having the area under shadenet more than 10 R (0.25 acre) based on list of 2009-10 of that particular village provided by Agriculture and Horticultural Departments working in Western Vidarbha was selected. For the propose study total 200 shadenet owners were selected by random sampling method from 2 districts of the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra.en_US
dc.description.abstractA significant problem facing world agriculture is the variation in crop yields from year to year due to variation in environmental stresses like drought, flooding, high wind velocities and high or low temperatures damage. The greenhouse is generally covered by transparent or translucent material such as glass or plastic. The green house covered with simple plastic sheet is termed as poly house. The state of Maharashtra is the third largest state of the Indian union considering both the population as well as geographical area. Maharashtra has traditionally remained drought prone state. Almost nearly 70.00 per cent of the state’s geographical area lies in semi-arid region rendering it vulnerable to water scarcity. Every year, Vidarbha region and other part of the state are affected by drought or drought like condition affecting availability of water for drinking and irrigation. Hence, the cultivation of various crops under control situation is essential. Considering this in view the topic socio-economic development and technological need of the shadenet owners is selected for the research purpose. Specific objectives of the study are delineated as below 1. To study the profile of shadenet owners 2. To study the knowledge and adoption of shadenet owners about improved cultivation practices of the crops grown in shadenet 3. To develop and standardize the scale to measure the socio-economic status of shadenet owners 4. To study the impact of shadenet on socio-economic development of shadenet owners 5. To find out the technological needs of the shadenet owners 6. To study the relationship between the selected characteristics of shadenet owners and socio-economic impact of shadenet owners 7. To study the constraints faced by the shadenet owners regarding management of shadenet house Methodology: An Ex-post-facto research design of social research was used for the present investigation. The present investigation was carried out in Akola and Buldana Districts of Vidarbha region of Maharashtra state. In the present study shadenet owners were selected purposively. The shadenet owners who were continuously using shadenet from last 3 years and having the area under shadenet more than 10 R (0.25 acre) based on list of 2009-10 of that particular village provided by Agriculture and Horticultural Departments working in Western Vidarbha was selected. For the propose study total 200 shadenet owners were selected by random sampling method from 2 districts of the Vidarbha region of Maharashtra. Results: The findings indicated that, the majority 60.00 per cent of shadenet owners were between 36 to 50 years of age group, regarding family education status, more than half (51.50%) of the shadenet owners family were educated up to medium level, 36.00 per cent respondents were possessing large family size (7 and above). Nearly one half 42.00 per cent respondents engaged in agriculture as a major occupation with having a small size land holding (01.01 to 02.00). Majority (55.00%) of the shadenet owners having area under shadenet cultivation in between 0.11 to 0.25 ha and having farming experience between 5-6 years. Well/ tube well/ farm pond as a source of irrigation was possessed by 91.50 per cent of the shadenet owners. Regarding annual income of shadenet owners they were categorized into medium level of annual income in between Rs. 275000- 350000. The average annual income of the shadenet owners found Rs.332975. Most of the shadenet owners availed different subsidy occurred in agriculture and also overall development of shadenet owners. Shadenet owners have high level extension contact (40.50%) and high economic motivation (49.50%). Nearly one half (48.00%) of the shadenet owners found medium level of risk orientation and more than half (52.00 %) of the owners have medium level of innovativeness. The shadenet owners had high (60.50%) knowledge and 64.50 per cent of the respondents had medium adoption level. In knowledge and adoption of improved cultivation practices of capsicum crop grown in shadenet house examined that, majority 89.00 per cent of the capsicum growers possessed knowledge about capsicum varieties grown under shadenet and only 55.00 per cent of the capsicum growers had knowledge about doses of application of growth regulators which was very less. Only 23.00 per cent the capsicum growers had adopted this cultivation practice. Regarding knowledge of improved cultivation practices of cucumber crop grown in shadenet house enlightened that, 88.00 per cent of the shadenet owners possessed high knowledge and high adoption level about stage of training of cucumber crop and only 56.00 per cent of the shadenet owners had less knowledge and less adoption level about time of weeding/ and application of weedicides. Little less than two third (72.00%) of the shadenet owners found in low (05.87 to 09.54) socio-economic status before use of shadenet house technology in their farm, followed by 28.00 per cent of shadenet owners found in very low (Upto 05.86) socio-economic status before use of shadenet house technology. Whereas, 56.00 per cent of shadenet owners converted into medium (09.55 to 13.22) socio-economic status after use of shadenet house technology in their farm, followed by 32.00 per cent of shadenet owners converted into high (13.23 to 16.90) socio-economic status and remaining 12.00 per cent of the shadenet owners have low socio-economic status after use of shadenet house technology in their farm. Regarding impact, it was found that, there was change in socio-economic status 72.32 per cent after use of shadenet house technology. The calculated ‘z’ value of all the parameters of SES scale was found to be positive and significant at 0.01 level of probability. The observed difference between two sample means and the error variance was computed as indicated ‘Z’ value was observed to be significant. In case of relational analysis, out of 16 independent variables except family size all were found positively significant at 0.05 and 0.01 level probabilities with dependent variable. The value of coefficient determinant (R2) was found 0.3621. It was indicates that, growth regulators and plant protection found the high rank based quotient, and give first rank to this as their major technological need. The investigation led to conclude that, all the shadenet owners had demanded technological need for growth regulators and plant protection measures as well as weed control by weedicide. The shadenet owners had less knowledge about the growth regulators and plant protection. They might have urged technological needs in these particular operations. Major constraints faced by shadenet owner were crop insurance was not covered for vegetables, complexity of loan procedure, lack of adequate and timely disbursement of loan. To overcome these constraints respondents had given the suggestion such as increase the amount of subsidy for protected cultivation, undergoing cluster and cooperative based approach in production and marketing of produce.en_US
