| dc.description.abstract | The study was conducted on grapes growers in Vijayapura and sugarcane growers in Belagavi districts of North-Karnataka during the year 2014-15. Ex-post facto- research design was employed for this study. From each district, two taluks and from each selected taluk, two villages having maximum area under drip irrigation were selected. A sample consisting of 10 adopters and 10 non-adopters of drip irrigation was selected randomly from each selected village. Thus sample size constituted 160 farmers. The important findings on both the crops were, Majority (55.00%) of drip adopters belonged to middle age group followed by old age (30.00 %). Where as, (48.75 %) of non-adopters belonged to old age group followed by middle age (38.75 %). Majority of the respondents strongly perceived that drip irrigation has higher relative advantage. Majority of respondents expressed that high initial cost, complexity in obtaining subsidy, inter-cultivation are the major constraints in drip irrigation. Among the grape growers, most of adopters (45.00 %) of drip irrigation belonged to high level knowledge category, followed by medium (40.00 %) and low (15.00 %) knowledge level category respectively. Where as, 47.50 per cent of the non-adopters had medium knowledge level, followed by low (27.50 %) knowledge level. The average yield of grapes among adopters was 11.32 t/ac, but in case of non-adopters it was 9.69 t/ac indicating difference of 1.62 t/ac. Among drip adopters, the average gross income per acre of grapes was 3,20,436/-, whereas for non-adopters it was 2,00,834/acre. Whereas the average yield of sugarcane among adopters was 53.60 t/ac, while that for non-adopters it was 44.80 t/ac indicating difference of 8.80 t/ac. Among drip adopters, the average gross income from per acre of sugarcane was 72,350/-, where for non-adopters it was 53,580/acre. | en_US |
