Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 13
Abstract
Among the pulses, green gram (Vignaradiata L.) is one of the most important and extensively cultivated pulse crop. Apart from India, it is also cultivated in China, Thailand, Indonesia, Burma, Bangladesh, and also in hot and dry regions of Southern Europe and the Southern United States. Suitable climate for cultivation of Green Gram should be warm humid and within temperature range of 25°C to 35°C, with moderate rains of 80-100 cm. In our country where people are predominantly vegetarian, pulses form the main source of protein and are thus of vital importance in our daily diet. It provides very good quality green gram fodder to animals. The principal objective of the study is to measure the level of knowledge of green gram growers' about green gram production technology and to identify relationship between knowledge and their selected characteristics of the green gram growers. A majority (58.00 per cent) of the respondents had medium knowledge level about the recommended green gram production technology, followed by 22.00 per cent high and 20.00 per cent low level of knowledge about recommended green gram production technology. The results of this study indicated that an average level of knowledge of improved green gram production technology was 24.36 percent. There was no significant association of the knowledge of green gram growers about recommended green gram production technology with their size of land holding. An Education, innovativeness, social participation, extension contact, cropping intensity irrigation potentiality, economic motivation and risk orientation were significant with level of knowledge. While, age was negative and significantly associated with the knowledge of the green gram growers.
