Description In Maharashtra 84.00 per cent area under dryland agriculture Only 16.00 per cent area has irrigation facility in Maharashtra which cannot be increased to more than 25.00 per cent of total crop area. Beed district comes under the scarcity and assured rainfall zone. Due to adverse climatic conditions and lack of irrigation Facilities.the production and productivity of agriculture is low VasantraoNaikMrathwadaKrishiVidyapeeth, Parbhani and Dryland Agriculture Research Station, Parbhani are playing major role in evolving various major dryland farming technologies in Marathwada. But the adoption of these technologies is not sufficient. Present study entitled “Adoption of dryland farming technologies” was conducted with the objectives of to study profile of the dryland farmers and their relation with adoption, to study the extent of adoption, its constraints and suggestions given by farmers.
Majority of the dryland farmers were middle aged (60.84%), educated (86.67%). They were having medium size of family (59.16%),medium level of annual income (69.16%), medium land holding(34.16%),moderate in use of sources of information (67.50%) medium cosmopoliteness (46.66%), medium risk orientation (65.83%), extension contact (59.16%), innovativeness (55.00%), medium knowledge about dryland farming technologies (65.83%) and medium adoption of dryland farming technologies (83.34%).
The adoption level of farmers with respect to dryland farming technologies was positively and significantly influenced by education, annual income, size of land holding, cosmopoliteness, risk orientation sources of information used and knowledge. There was negative and significant association between age and adoption. Size of family showed non-significant relationship with adoption.
The major constraints reported by dryland farmers were Non availability of seeds of drought resistant varieties at the time of sowing and high cost of inputs like seed, fertilizers and implements, lack of information about antiranspirants, biofertilizer seed treatment, lack of information about antitranspirants and lack of information about biological methods of pests management
The study brought to conclusion that there should be provision of There is need to guidance by agriculture Universities and Krishi Vigyan Kendras to the new dryland farming technologies, low cost implements and machineries to farmers, sufficient and timely inputs availability, guidance from experts, easy loan availability are the needs of farmers which should be consideredby an extension organizations, agriculture universities and the Government.
