dc.description.abstractThe study entitled “Problems and prospects of paddy straw management technologies in Bathinda district” was undertaken to study the status and prospects of paddy straw management technologies and problems faced by farmers in the adoption of paddy technologies. The study was conducted in Bathinda district of Punjab. All the nine blocks of Bathinda district were selected and from each block one village was selected randomly, so nine villages were selected for the study. Total of 135 respondents comprising 15 respondents were selected randomly from each village for the purpose of study. Interview schedule was prepared and data was collected personally by interviewing respondents. The results of the study revealed that majority of the respondents were of the middle age group (41-53 years), had education up to matriculate and having small (2.5-5 acres) operational land holding. Majority of the respondents had low extension contacts and medium category of mass media exposure, innovativeness and risk bearing capacity. Respondents had awareness regarding happy seeder, baler, super straw management system, chopper-cum-spreader but not aware about cutter-cum-spreader, use of straw for composting. Majority of respondents adopted happy seeder in 2017, baler, super straw management system, mulcher and chopper-cumspreader in 2018. In 2019, majority of respondents adopted baler technology for managing paddy straw. Area under baler and mulcher in future will be increase by respondents. Problems of insect-pest, rodents were increased after adopting technologies like happy seeder, chopper-cum-spreader and mulcher. Technologies like baler, mulcher and chopper-cumspreader were not available to majority of respondents on time.en_US
