Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 60
Abstract
The present study was conducted in Mainpath block of Surguja District of Chhattisgarh. The study revealed that, majority of respondents (89.16%) were having full level of knowledge about land preparation, 70.83 per cent were having full level of knowledge about method of sowing, 50.84 per cent of the respondents had full level of knowledge about popular varieties, 44.16 per cent had full level of knowledge about seed treatment, 52.50 per cent had full level of knowledge about manure & fertilizer, 51.66 per cent had full level of knowledge about irrigation, 88.34 per cent had full level of knowledge about intercultural operation, 69.16 per cent had partial level of knowledge about plant protection measures, 47.50 per cent had partial level of knowledge about harvesting of potato, and 69.16 per cent had partial level of knowledge about post harvest management. Majority of the respondents (49.16%) had medium level of overall knowledge. As regards to extent of knowledge and knowledge gap, the data revealed that majority of the respondents (94.58%) had extent of knowledge about land preparation and highest knowledge gap (46.66%) was reported for intercultural operation and overall extent of knowledge was noted to be 76.80 per cent and knowledge gap was 23.19 per cent.
