CONSTRAINTS FACED BY THE FARMERS AND THEIR REMEDIES IN TECHNOLOGICAL ADOPTION OF RICE WHEAT- CROPPING SYSTEM IN EASTERN UTTAR PRADESH
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 55
Abstract
The rice wheat cropping system (RWCS) may be age old practice but its present worth was triggered by the development of high yielding varieties in both the crops. In India Punjab, Haryana and U.P. are the core states where 95 percent of rice area is followed by wheat. The article discusses some of the constraints faced by the farmers in general-illiteracy, poor socioeconomic conditions, lack of technical knowledge and awareness, small landholdings, low precipitating come and underdeveloped physical infrastructures associated with the comparatively high cost of agricultural production. Even after producing rice-wheat they could not get good price due to lack of proper marketing system. The study was conducted during 2014-2015 in order to study extent of adoption of technology regarding rice-wheat cropping system. This paper, thus, aims to assess the constraints faced by the farmers in rice wheat cropping system in Milkipur & Amaniganj block of Faizabad district of Eastern Uttar Pradesh. A total number of 200 farmers were selected through proportionate random sampling technique from eight sample villages. The structured schedule was developed keeping in view the objectives & variables under study. The respondents were contacted personally for data collection. Thus this study promotes useful information about the constraints which calls for carrying out dissemination of the knowledge about constraints to the farmers of the other states
