YIELD GAP AND CONSTRAINTS IN ADOPTION OF SOYBEAN PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGIES IN CENTRAL NARMADA VALLEY AGRO-CLIMATIC ZONE OF MADHYA PRADESH
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 61
Abstract
A study was conducted to find out the yield gap, adoption pattern, and constraints in adoption of soybean production technologies. The primary data were collected from 98 farmers selected on the basis of yield levels, as high, moderate and low from the Central Narmada Valley agro-climatic zone of Madhya Pradesh. The study revealed that at overall yield level Gap-I, II, and III were found to be 52.20, 52.96 and 77.09 per cent, respectively. More than 60 per cent of respondents were not adopting intercropping, land leveling, irrigation management, plant protection, seed treatment, and nutrient management due to various constraints such as lack of capital, high cost, lack of knowledge etc. In both one tail and two tail test deep ploughing, harrowing and land levelling was positive and significant, while irrigation management was negative and significant.
