ASSESS THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC AND COMMUNICATION ATTRIBUTES OF CHICKPEA GROWERS IN MADHYA PRADESH
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 54
Abstract
Pulses are very important crops in India both from economic and nutritional aspects and covering area of 20.05 million hectares but production is only 11.14 million tones. In Madhya Pradesh the area of all crops is 16.53 million hectares and production is only 13.89 million tones. The pulses are grown in 4.13 million hectare which is 4 per cent of the total area under all the crops with production of 2.37 million tones which is 6 per cent of the total production of all the crops. Among the major pulse crops grown in Madhya Pradesh, Chickpea is one of the most important crops. Chickpea commonly known as chickpea or Bengal chickpea is the important pulse crop of India. It is one of the major grain legume crops grown as a sole or mixed crop in India. Madhya Pradesh is the biggest chickpea producing state in the country. There is a tremendous opportunity for increasing the production of chickpea crop by adopting the suitable improved technologies. Technological gap can be assessed by considering the difference between recommended technology and technology actually adopted by the farmers. There is urgent need to reduce the technological gap at the farmer fields in pulse production so that the farmers’ productivity vis-à -vis income could be increased. In long run, legume pulse will also help in maintaining the soil fertility and sustaining the productivity of the fields.
