Description ABSTRACT
Vegetables play a vital role in the maintenance of human health and make the diet nutritive and balanced. A balanced diet is essential to sustain good health. Vegetables are so common in human diet that a meal without vegetables is supposed to be incomplete.
In Jabalpur district, the total area under vegetable crop is 55935 ha and production is 575011 tonnes. Whereas the Panagar block of Jabalpur district covered maximum area under vegetable crop i.e 6806 ha and production is 69862 tonnes.
The KVK is the grass root level training institute designed for bridging the gap between available techniques at one end and their application at other. The result of training conducted by KVK showed that the trained farmers adopt improved production technology than untrained farmers. Therefore the present study was conducted to know the impact of training programmes by KVK on knowledge and adoption of improved vegetable production technology in Panagar Block of Jabalpur district (M.P) with the following objectives.
Objectives of the study:
A. To know the profile of participating and non-participating farmers.
B. To assess the impact of training programme in term of knowledge and adoption of vegetable production technology among participating and non-participating farmers.
C. To study the relationship between dependent and independent variables of participating farmers.
D. To identity the problems faced by participating farmers.
The study was confined only to Panagar block. A list of trained farmers from KVK was taken, out of which 40 participating farmers were selected randomly and similar 40 non-participating farmers has been selected randomly from other villages. Thus a sample consisted of total 80 respondents, by using simple random sampling method.
The independent variables, viz., gender, age education, caste, type of family, area under vegetable crop, area under irrigation, number of training received, economic motivation utilization of different source of information, marketing orientation. The dependent variable was impact of training in terms of knowledge and adoption of improved vegetable production technology.
The data were collected with the help of pre-tested interview schedule and converted into scores and were analyzed into frequencies and percentages. Correlation test was used to observe the significant relationship between independent variables and extent of increase in knowledge and adoption of improved vegetable production technology as dependent variable. The variables of the study were abstracted through past research review and hypotheses were tested in null form.
Conclusion :-
The conclusions of the present study are presented here, based on the objectives :-
1. Profile of both types of respondents was more or less similar in respect of gender, age, caste, type of family, while profile of both categories of respondents varied in respect to education status, area under vegetable crop, area under irrigation, economic motivation, utilization of different sources of information and marketing orientation. Most of the participating and non- participating respondents were in the young and middle age group, OBC caste category and having low to medium area under vegetable crop.
2. Higher percentage of participating respondents having education from middle to primary, having medium to high use of information sources, and attended above 4 trainings.
3. Most of non-participating farmers were illiterate or primary passed, having medium use of source of information, and majority of non participating farmers were having low to medium marketing orientation, and medium economic motivation.
4. Knowledge level of improved vegetable production technology of participating respondents was medium to high while majority of non-participating respondents were having low to medium knowledge level of improved vegetable production technology.
5. Adoption level of improved vegetable production technology for participating respondents was medium to high while in case of non-participating respondents, the adoption level was low to medium.
