Description The present study was made an attempt to study the growth in area, production
and productivity of redgram, technologies released by research institutions and their spread,
and factors responsible for adoption or rejection of technologies in the study area by using
both primary and secondary data.
The growth rate in area of redgram production recorded positive and significant
growth rate whereas, productivity recorded positive but not significant growth rate. In case of
production, except Yadgir taluk, all other taluk shown positive and significant growth rate.
Among the various technologies released, the release of wilt resistant variety Maruthi
ICP-8863 in 1985 as revolutionized pulse production in the study area; it has occupied more
than 60 per cent of the redgram growing area. The refined technology released for pod borer
management by spraying ovicides like Methomyl 40 SP @ 0.6 g/litre or Protenophos 50 EC
@ 2 ml per litre was included in IPM with integration biorationals because of its eco-friendly
nature.
It was observed from the study that due to the adoption of Maruthi variety, the
increase in yield was Rs. 3667.74/ha as an additional returns, indicating the suitability of the
variety to the region over local variety. In case of IPM plots, yield increased per hectare was
giving additional returns of Rs. 3543.65 showing the effectiveness of this technology.
Regular technical guidelines by ARS/KSDA, low cost, effective increase in yield and
timely supply of inputs by ARS/KSDA were the reasons for adoption of biofertilizers by all
the farmers.
High yield, drought tolerant, resistant to pest and diseases and convinced by the ARS
Scientists and low cost of production were the major reasons responsible for adoption of
improved varieties by almost all the farmers.
