Farmers perspective, farmer’s management and farmers participation in pulses production

Abstract

The study was conducted in Natren block of Vidisha district in the Vindhyan Plateau in 2017 in order to know the farmers’ perspective, management and participation in pulses crop production. The study revealed that major reason for low production of pulses as per farmers perspective was unawareness regarding improved pulse crop production technology. Farmers management was not appropriate regarding improved varieties, fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides and majority of respondents had high level of extension participation. Farmers’ perspective and farmers’ management were found to be non-significant whereas farmers’ participation in extension activities was significant with the low yield of pulses.
