Description M. Sc. (Ag.)
In present study, the eastern part of Uttar Pradesh was considered. The eastern part of Uttar Pradesh comprises 8 districts namely; Ballia, Jaunpur, Mirzapur, Sonbhadra, Varanasi, Chandoli, Gajipur and Bhadohi. Among these districts the sample of the study has been selected through multi-stage random sampling technique. From each districts one block have been selected randomly with probability proportional to cultivated area under vegetable in the block. A list of village?s generally growing maximum vegetable under their existing holdings was prepared with the help of Department of Horticulture and out of which 3 villages in each block was selected on random basis. Hence, 24 villages were considered for study among 8 blocks of different districts. From selected villages vegetable growing farmer?s list was prepared with the help of RAEOs and out of which 5 farmers from each villages were selected randomly from the list of 24 villages proportionately. Thus, total 120 vegetable growers were selected randomly (5 from each village comprising 24 villages, 8 blocks under each district of eastern part of Uttar Pradesh). Data were collected by the researcher himself. The task was accomplished through a door to door visit to the selected respondents using the structured interview schedule. The data was collected in the year of 2012-13.
Study revealed that the level of education, farm size, cosmopolitans, organizational affiliation and extension media contact of the respondents had positive significant relationships with their extent of attitude towards the use of ITK. It is, therefore, recommended that arrangement should be made by the concerned authorities to undertake more functional activities for increasing these characteristics level of the farmers. All incentives and facilities like credit, insurance, markets available for conventional agriculture must also be provided to improve the Indigenous technical knowledge among the farmers. Sustainable agriculture and Indigenous Technical Knowledge should include as a compulsory subject from the high school level right up to the college level. Farmers, community level workers, extension workers, Agricultural officers must all be trained on sustainable agriculture practices through ITK on plant protection on vegetable for higher production of vegetable with low cost technology. Sustainable agricultural practices through use of ITK that have evolved over the years could provide answers to the current crisis in the agriculture sector in respect of plant protection measures. It is therefore, imperative that the knowledge of ITK on plant protection on vegetable is widely disseminated among the farming community, researchers, academicians, administrators, policy makers. The State Government needs to create an enabling environment, through appropriate policy interventions, for inclusion of this knowledge into mainstream agriculture. Indigenous Technical Knowledge (ITK) encompasses mechanisms to stabilize production in a risk-prone environment without external subsidies and to limit environmental degradation. Such stabilizing qualities of (ITK) must be supported and complemented by agro-ecological practices that enhance the production factors and natural resources potential of ITK. That also provides diversification guidelines on how to assemble functional biodiversity.
