INFORMATION NEEDS OF GROUNDNUT GROWERS ABOUT GROUNDNUT PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 47
Abstract
It seems worthwhile to determine the information needs of the groundnut growers. To conduct study, total 120 groundnut growers were selected by random sampling method with a condition that the farmers have cultivated groundnut at least last three years. The extent of information needs of groundnut growers was availed on a three-point continuum rating. Results of the study revealed that majority of the groundnut growers (68.33 per cent) were fall under medium group of information needs about groundnut production technology. While area specific information needs of groundnut growers were, information need about variety and seeds: Suitable high yielding variety for the area (ranked first), land preparation and sowing: soil treatment inputs (ranked first), fertilizer management : Price of fertilizer (ranked first), weed management and inter culturing: Chemical weed control (ranked first), water management : Method of irrigation (ranked first), Plant protection measure : Identification, nature of damage and control measures for insects/pests of groundnut (ranked first), post harvest technology: care after harvesting groundnut(ranked first), Marketing : Market price and in supportive facts: subsidies for groundnut cultivation (ranked first).
