Association Between Selected Characteristics and Overall Technological Gap of the Tribal Fennel Growers

India is one of the largest producers of pomegranate in the world. Maharashtra is the leading state in India other important states are Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Gujarat. The area under pomegranate cultivation is increasing rapidly in Guajrat and especially in Banaskantha district. It was 210 ha in 2005-06 which was increased to 10951 ha in 2018-19. At present pomegranate cultivation in the district is at cross road. It is observed that because of some constrains, farmers are not realizing the potential yield and quality because of the gap in the adaption of recommended technologies. This paper summarizes the present cultivation practices followed by the farmers and prevailing gap in technologies like Processing and Value Addition, Integrated Disease Management, Harvesting, Sorting, Grading, Packaging and Storage and Integrated Pest Management etc, and provides suggestions for needed research and promotion of policies to reduce the technological gap in the cultivation of better quality pomegranates.

Muskmelon is gaining lot of importance due to its more remuneration in short crop cycle, high production potential with high nutritive value, taste, delicacy and also its suitability for cultivation under rain fed and irrigated condition throughout the year. Total 150 muskmelon growers were selected from fifteen villages belongs to Deesa, Dantiwada and Palanpur talukas of Banaskantha district of Gujarat state. The independent variable viz., education, land holding, annual income, social participation, extension participation, innovativeness and market orientation had negative and significant correlation with overall technological gap in muskmelon production technology. While, sources of information and level of knowledge had negative and highly significant correlation with overall technological gap in muskmelon production technology. Whereas, age had positive and significant correlation with overall technological gap and cropping pattern had positive and non-significant correlation with overall technological gap in muskmelon production technology. It revealed that the high technological gap was observed in recommended variety was 92.67 per cent followed by seed rate 76.67 per cent, spacing 70.67 per cent, plant protection 69.33 per cent and chemical fertilizer 64.67 per cent, the overall technological gap indicates that nearly two third (65.33%) muskmelon growers had medium technological gap followed by 22.67 per cent and 12.00 per cent had high and low technological gap in muskmelon cultivation technology, respectively.

“…The present era of liberization and globalization farmers can benefit from it by growing high quality turmeric and exporting it to the foreign countries to earn foreign exchange. This export will help in raising the economy of the country and farmers as well (Chaudhari et al, 2022). Turmeric can be stored well after processing for 5-10 months and marked when the prices are reasonably good.…”

The study was conducted in Yavatmal District of Maharashtra state. Two talukas Umarkhed and Mahagoan were selected on maximum area under turmeric crop. The list of turmeric growing villages of Umarkhed and Mahagoan tahsil was obtained from Taluka Agriculture Officer. The area out of these, 5 villages from Umarkhed and 5 villages from Mahagoan tahsil that were total 10 villages were selected having highest area under turmeric cultivation. The 12 farmers from each se-lected village were selected by proportionate random sampling technique on the basis of area under turmeric crop. Thus, total 120 respondents were selected as a sample for the study. From the study it was found that majority of the respondent turmeric growers were in medium age group, educated upto secondary and primary education, had medium family size, medium size of land holding, medium area under turmeric cultivation, medium annual income, medium income from turmeric yield, medium sources of information, medium irrigation facilities and medium risk orientation.
