MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS OF ECO-FRIENDLY MANAGEMENT PRACTICES BY COTTON GROWERS IN YADGIR DISTRICT OF KARNATAKA
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 52
Abstract
The nature friendly management of pest is seen as a wide range natural approach to pest control employing several methods and techniques viz., agronomic practices, using agriculture implements, bio agents and agro chemicals in a compatible manner to keep the pest level below economic threshold. The research was conducted in 2014-15 in Yadgir district of North eastern part of Karnataka. Total 160 cotton-cultivating respondents were selected on proportionate random sample method. The variables such as achievement motivation, innovative proneness, scientific orientation, risk orientation, cosmopoliteness, attitude towards chemical fertilizers, extension participation, institutional participation and mass media use show significant positive relationship with knowledge of management eco-friendly practices by cotton cultivating respondents. Only two characters namely risk orientation and achievement motivation had contributed significantly to the knowledge level of eco-friendly management practices by cotton growers. All the 11 independent variables put together contributed to an extent of 46.40 per cent in explaining variation in knowledge level of eco-friendly management practices by cotton growers. The highest and lowest favourable indirect effect was contributed by the variables economic motivation and education, respectively. Most of the substantial indirect effect was channalized through risk orientation, achievement motivation and mass media use.
