Problem faced by the Niger growers in adoption of Niger production technology and suggestion to overcome

Abstract

The study was carried out in Jashpur district of Chhattisgarh state in the years 2021–2022. Jashpur district consists of 8 blocks, out of which 2 blocks were selected purposefully because they covered the largest area under the Niger crop as compared to other blocks. For this study, a total of 140 farmers were chosen. A personal interview schedule was used to gather the data, which was then properly analyzed by utilizing statistical tools to provide desirable information. The problems faced by the Niger growers in the adoption of Niger production technology are such that the majority of the respondents (100.00%) reported a lack of knowledge about fertilizer and its accurate quantity of application on the Niger crop as the most important constraints. And the majority of the tribal farmers suggested that the government should establish a processing unit for Niger.
