Description Mango occupies a place of pride both in acreage and production among
various fruit crops grown in the Haryana state. However, its productivity is
low in comparison to other mango growing states. Despite the fact that many
factors and conditions affect the low productivity of mango, the focus of the
present study was to determine the adoption level of mango growers, study
their constraints and make suggestions with regards to the adoption of
recommended technology for mango production. Following were the specific
objectives of the present study:
1 To assess the knowledge level of farmers regarding mango cultivation.
2. To determine the adoption status of recommended package of practices
for mango production.
3. To find out the constraints encountered by farmers in the adoption of
recommended package of practices for mango production.
4. To determine the relationship between the personality traits of farmers
and their adoption status regarding mango production.
The study was conducted in Yamunanager and Panchkula districts of
Haryana having maximum area under mango culivation. Proportionate
random sampling technique was used for the selection of blocks and
-Vrespondents.
The data were analysed by using scientific procedures and
techniques.
The findings revealed that the mango grower in general had higher
level of adoption on the recommendation which were traditionally known and
not difficult to understand. The respondents had an over all medium level of
adoption of mango production technology.
Background variables such as land holding, socio-economic status,
extension contact, mass media exposure and innovativeness had significant
relationship with adoption level of mango growers.
Non-availability of quality inputs, high cost of insecticides/pesticides,
and fungicides, ominus attack of plant diseases, absence or scarcity of
agro-processing units, lack of marketing facilities, lack of knowledge of
current advances for mango production and self marketing were the most
important constraints in the adoption of improved technology as reported by
majority of respondents
Some important suggestions for the higher and quick adoption of
scientific cultivation of mango technology were; providing technical guidance,
making provision for financial assistance to the farmer to meet expenses on
inputs, availability of quality inputs at village/block level and at reasonable
price, provision of cold storage facilities, literature regarding recommended
mango cultivation practices made available in local languages. Organising
demonstration to educate and convince the mango growers on recommended
mango production technology.
The study thus concludes that the extension agency follow a
systematic, well planned and coordinated approach for improving the
adoption status of mango growers and providing remedies to their
constraints.
