Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 4
Abstract
The Indian market environment changed over the years and leads to difficulties for small farmers in selling their produce. In Tamil Nadu the number of farmer’s producer companies is increasing every year. Assessing their knowledge level in their mandate crops and providing training based on their level of knowledge is very important. Keeping this in view the study was conducted to assess the impact of training in their knowledge level. The training was given to sixty one members of Farmer’s Producer Organizations in vegetable cultivation and FPO activities. The knowledge level in vegetable cultivation and FPO related activities were measured before and after the training and impact was measured in terms of knowledge gain due to training. Results revealed that one fifth of FPO participants had gained knowledge in the recommended vegetable cultivation techniques. Regarding vegetable cultivation through precision farming nearly half of the participants had gained knowledge about vegetable cultivation through precision farming in the entire category of completely known, somewhat known and little information. Regarding knowledge and management of records 27.87 per cent of participants did not know before training and gained knowledge on these aspects.
