| dc.description.abstract | The research study on analysis of production technologies adopted by banana growers was conducted during the year 2017-2018 in Bagalkot and Belagavi districts of Karnataka with 120 samples. Samples were selected by following Random Sampling procedure. The profile characteristics of the banana farmers showed that 41.67 per cent of banana farmers belong to middle age group, 27.50 per cent of adopted farmers were educated PUC, 66.67 per cent of farmers belong to large family size, 51.67 per cent of farmers were medium farmers and 40.00 per cent of farmers were low farming experience. The variables like annual income (86.67 %), mass media exposure (38.33 %), extension contact (38.33 %), information source consultancy (49.17 %) and cosmopoliteness (50.83 %) were found medium level among banana farmers. Majority of banana farmers were belonged to high knowledge (40.84 %), medium adoption (36.67 %) level and medium technological gap (37.50 %) level. In case of constraints faced by banana farmers, majority (96.66 %) of the farmers expressed high cost of labour, followed by price fluctuation (93.33 %), irregular supply of electricity for irrigation (89.16 %) and storage problem (84.16 %) as problems faced by them. It was also found that, 79.16 per cent of the farmers expressed non availability of labour in time as the constraint, followed by high cost of manures and fertilizers (69.16 %) and lack of technical guidance with respect to nutrient application (59.16 %). Price fluctuation in market is one of the major problems with majority of respondents. Hence, the government should develop a mechanism to control prices by declaring minimum support price or fixed rate based on production cost. | |
