Description |
A research study was undertaken at Mandya and Nagamangala taluks of Mandya District of Karnataka during 2011-12. The selected 120 respondents were interviewed by using pretested structured schedule. The study revealed that majority of the farmers were under middle age group, nearly half of the farmers had medium extension participation, 40.00 per cent had favorable attitude towards farming system, 40.83 per cent falls under medium cropping intensity category, nearly two-fifth of the farmers belonged to medium market accessibility, one-third of farmers had medium land use efficiency. In irrigated condition 35.00 per cent of farmers practiced agriculture + sericulture +dairy and in dry land condition 35.00 per cent of farmers practiced agriculture + horticulture +dairy +forestry. In case of economic viability, in irrigated condition agriculture + sericulture + dairy + goat rearing + Vermicompost produced highest return and whereas in dry land condition horticulture + dairy+ goat rearing + forestry produced highest net return. Highest employment generation was found in agriculture + sericulture + dairy + poultry in irrigated condition, whereas crop production+ horticulture + dairy +forestry (201 man days/year) in dry land condition. In irrigated condition non availability of quality planting materials/breeds/species and in dry land lack of technical knowledge regarding crop harvest were the major constraints expressed by farmers. |
