Indian bean is an imperious vegetable crop of India as it works as source of nutritional food along with handful amount of money to grower in its seasonal tenure. Organic farming is crucial need of recent era in order to provide healthy food without adversely affecting the ecosystem. Considering above given facts, present experiment was taken with objective to find out effects of Novel organic liquid nutrient and Novel Plus organic liquid nutrient application on economics of Indian bean [Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet] production. The experiment was portrayed under Randomized Block Designed with three replications and seven treatments i.e. No spray (T1), 0.5% Novel organic liquid nutrient (T2), 1.0% Novel organic liquid nutrient (T3), 1.5% Novel organic liquid nutrient (T4), 0.5% Novel Plus organic liquid nutrient (T5), 1.0% Novel Plus organic liquid nutrient (T6) and 1.5% Novel Plus organic liquid nutrient (T7) at Navsari Agricultural University, Gujarat, India on Indian bean variety Gujarat Navsari Indian Bean 22 (GNIB 22). Higher net income (Rs. 1,05,178 per ha) and BCR (1.21) were found under the treatment T5 (0.5% Novel Plus organic liquid nutrient). Thus, application of 0.5% Novel Plus organic liquid nutrient increases the yield and BCR of Indian bean production without adversely affecting the ecosystem as it is an organic input.
SUMMARY :Front line demonstration (FLD) is one of the most powerful tools for transfer of technology. In order to increase the productivity of brinjal (Solanum melongena L.) by adopting improved technologies, several demonstrations with scientific package of practices were conducted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Navsari. A study on impact of farmer's knowledge, adoption and knowledge regarding scientific innovations was conducted. The impact assessment was based on the comparison of before contact and after contact of KVK with reference to increase in knowledge level of farmer's regarding scientific packages of practices, extent of adoption of INM technology. It was found that the overall knowledge of INM demonstrations indicated that low, medium and high level of knowledge before contact with the KVK was 49 per cent, 38 per cent and 13 per cent, respectively. It was altered up to 08 per cent, 50 per cent and 42 per cent, respectively after contact with the KVK. In case of knowledge regarding selected scientific innovations for demonstrations, high knowledge regarding selected scientific innovations was found. The technology index indicates the feasibility of evolved technology at the farmer's field. Lower the value of technology index, more is the feasibility of technology demonstrated. As such reduction of technology index from 29.05 per cent (2009)
: Constraints in sapota production and their elucidation at farming communities were studied with the involvement of farmer's. In this regard demonstrations on sapota were conducted in 58 villages of Jallpore, Navsari and Gandevi taluks of Navsari in an area of about 529 ha with involvement of 2645 farmer's. These areas were grouped in to 10 clusters. Demonstrations were focused on the use bio-fertilizer along with organic manures in with recommended dose of fertilizer management practices. From the study found that over the years high yield of fruit was obtained through use of organic manure vermi compost along with bio-fertilizer than traditional method of fertilizer management. Among the ten clusters studied Manekpor cluster recorded with highest B: C ratio (6.18) and Gadat cluster recorded extension gap (2.8) and technology index (18.5) as compared to other clusters.
SUMMARY :The study was conducted in tribal dominated Navsari district. A total number of 160 tribal farmers from 16 villages were selected purposively and from each village 10 respondents were selected. The study focused on the economics of contract farming of sweet corn in South Gujarat and its impact on income, employment and access to technology and credit by contact farmers. The study revealed that a clear majority of the respondents (52 %) had medium level of knowledge. Their adoption level was predominately medium level (51 %). After KVK intervention overall income of respondents has been increased to 41 per cent.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
