| dc.description.abstract | The present research study was conducted in Bijapur district of Karnataka during the year 2013-14. Bijapur district was purposively selected for the study, since the Red gram occupy the majority of the area in the district. Two taluks namely, Sindagi and Indi were purposively selected with one hundred and fourty respondents, because these taluks have maximum number of farmers trained under DATC on Red gram cultivation practices. Thus 140 farmers formed the sample for study (i.e. 70 trained and 70 untrained farmers). Study revealed that, majority of the trained respondents had correct overall knowledge about improved Red gram cultivation practices as compared to untrained respondents. Nearly 40.00 per cent of trained and untrained respondents were belonged to medium adoption level category. A positive and significant relationship was observed between knowledge, adoption and personal characteristics of trained farmers with respect to education, mass media participation, extension contact, extension participation and achievement motivation. Major problems faced by trained farmers are high cost of input (92.86%) followed by lack of storage facilities in rural areas(90.00%), high labour charges (88.57%), shortage of labour (85.71%), lack of knowledge about pest and disease control measures (78.57%), interference of middle man in marketing (64.29%), inadequate market information (61.43%), more pest and disease (58.57%), fluctuation of prices (55.71%).
