Description The study was conducted in the Belgaum district during 2011-2012. Belgaum
and Bailahongal taluks were purposively selected since these taluks are having more
number of cole growers and occupy more area under cole crops cultivation as
compared to the other taluks in the district and also based on the criteria of higher
level of diseases and pest infestation. The data was collected with help of structural
interview schedule.
The results of the study revealed that, majority of cole crop growers had
medium level of knowledge (44.67%) and medium level of adoption (40.00%).
Regarding recommended levels of fertilizers, 76.00 per cent of the respondents had
correct knowledge about chemical fertilizers application and nearly three forth of
them (72.67%) adopted recommended levels of chemical fertilizers. Ninty per cent of
farmers had knowledge about Dichlorovos for control of diamond back moth
followed by Quinalphos or Chlorpyrifos for control of lepidopteron pests (72.00%).
Whereas 90.00 and 88.00 per cent of them had knowledge about Vapam and copper
oxychloride for the control of black rot and collar rot, respectively.
In case of the adoption of chemical pesticides, 89.33 and 70.67 per cent of the
respondents adopted Dichlorovos and Quinalphos or Chlorpyrifos. Whereas 86.67 and
73.33 per cent of them adopted Vapam and Copper oxychloride, respectively. In case
of concentration of the pesticides used, 63.33 per cent of the respondents adopted
Dichlorovos with the concentration of 0.5ml/lit, followed by 53.33 and 26.67 per cent
of the respondents correctly adopted quinolphos or chlorpyriphos with the
concentration of 2ml/lit, and Phosphomidon with concentration of 0.5ml/lit,
respectively. Further, 60.00 per cent of the respondents adopted Vapam with the
concentration of 80ml/5lit, followed by Dithane M-45 with the concentration of
0.2ml/lit, Copper oxychloride with the concentration of 0.3ml/lit and Mercuric
chloride with the concentration of 0.1ml/lit.
