Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 9
Abstract
Cotton is grown chiefly for its fiber use in the manufacture of clothes and for the purpose like making threads for mixing in other fiber and extraction of oils from the cotton seeds. The present study was conducted in the purposely selected Bhilwara district of Rajasthan. There are total twelve tehsils in Bhilwara district of Rajasthan, out of which, two tehsil namely Mandalgarh and Asind have been selected on the basis of maximum area under cultivation of Btcotton. Four villages selected from each tehsil were taken on the basis of maximum area under Bt cotton cultivation. The list so prepared, 5 marginal, 5 small and 5 large Bt growers were selected randomly from each identified village. Thus, in all 120 farmers (40 marginal, 40 small and 40 large farmers) were included in the sample of the study. The study revealed that 48.33 per cent of the total respondents were in low constraints group, whereas 26.67 per cent in medium and remaining 25.00 per cent respondents were observed in the group of high constraints in the study area.
