“…From Table-1 it is clear that, majority (45.00%) of the respondents were having medium level of scientific orientation followed by 42.00 per cent and 14.00 per cent of the respondents having low and high level of scientific orientation respectively. The results are in line with the results of Devi (2012).…”

The present study was conducted in agricultural zone Bandipora ofdistrict Bandipora of Jammu and Kashmir state. Four villages were selected purposively on the basis of area under rice cultivation. From each selected village, 25 paddy grower were selected randomly but only those paddy growers were included who cultivated paddy over an area of ½ acre or more. Thus, total 100 growers were selected for the study. The “Ex-Post-Facto” design of social research was used for investigation. The findings indicated that (47.00%) of growers were in medium age group, (54.00%) educated up to middle school level, (67.00%) belonged to medium size of family comprising 6-10 members, (41.00 %) were possessed land holding ranging between 11-20 kanals, (83.00%) had agriculture as their main occupation, (69.00%) were having annual income upto Rs.2 lakh, (52.00%) were having 11-20 years of experience in paddy cultivation, (51.00%) were observed having medium level of mass media exposure, (45.00%) had medium scientific orientation, (61.00%) had low extension contacts and (62.00%) had low social participation.

The Present study was undertaken in Dharni tahsil of Maharashtra State during the year 2017-19. This area is also popularly known as Melgha t region, which is located in the physiographic unit i.e. eroded valley with the elevation of 316 -642 meters above mean sea level. Korku is the dominant tribes inhabited in this region and have small land holding adjoining to forest. The data on natural resources such as climate, soil-site characteristics and land use system aspect were collected. Twenty four spot were selected on different land use system based on single crop, double crop, scrub land and forestland fallow land. Dharni Tahasil received an annual rainfall ranges from 1350-1450 mm. Temperature varies from 34°C in summer to 21°C in winter. The soils were developed on weathered basalt. The soils were very gently to steep sloping with moderately to very severe erosion. The soils are dark reddish brown to dark brown with shallow to medium deep in depth and structure was angular blocky to sub angular blocky.

“…Proper soil management and diversification of crops can decrease the risk of crop failures caused by such limitations. Devi and Naidu (2016) classified the sugarcane soils of Chittoor, A.P. into land capability sub-class IVs due to major limitations of texture, OC, base saturation and CEC; IVes having limitations of slope erosion, texture, base saturation, and OC; Vs because of the limitations of texture, CEC, base saturation and OC and VIes which had limitations of slope, erosion, shallow depth, coarse texture, CEC and OC.…”

Aim: The current study aimed to evaluate the capacity and suitability of land for semi-arid region of Haryana in selected watersheds to identify the major limitations of crop production. Methodology: The study was carried out in Bhiwani district of Haryana in 2017 where eight typical pedons (P) representing four micro-watersheds viz., Motipura (P1 and P2), Sainiwas (P3 and P4), Jhumpa (P5 and P6), Budhsheli (P7 and P8) were studied. Results: The studied pedons were neutral to alkaline in reaction (pH 6.87-9.10), non-saline (EC 0.02-0.21 dS m-1) and low in organic carbon (OC) (0.06-0.27%). Available N, P, K and S were low (42.00-189.00 kg ha-1), low to medium (4.20-17.10 kg ha-1), low to high (62.20-326.50 kg ha-1) and low (0.40-19.20 mg kg-1) in the studied pedons, respectively. Soils were deficient in available Fe and Zn but marginal to sufficient in available Mn and Cu. Interpretation: Soils were classified as IIsf and IIItsf and S3s and N1s according to LCC and irrigation suitability, respectively. The pedons were found suitable (S1) to moderately suitable (S2) for guar (cluster bean), oilseeds (mustard), moderately suitable (S2) to marginally suitable (S3) for pearl millet, gram and forestry, and marginally suitable (S3) for cotton and wheat. Key words: Land suitability, Nutrients, Pedon, Semiarid, Watershed
