Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 62
Abstract
There is a great potential for increasing the total sugarcane production in the North-Eastern Region due to suitable climatic, edaphic and great market prospective in the region. In Tinsukia district, sugarcane is the important commercial crop grown next to tea and khasi mandarin. The study was conducted as a part of Front Line Demonstration (FLDs) of KVK, Tinsukia with 90 numbers of farmers of three Rural Development Blocks viz., Hapjan, Margherita and Kakopothar of Tinsukia district. The study revealed that out of the technological constraints; lack of knowledge of scientific crop production ranked I (75.55%), Occurrence of insect-pests and diseases ranked II (60.00%) and Lack of regular visit by extension personnel to villages ranked III (54.44%). Again, as regards to the infrastructural constraints; Non-availability of HYV ranked I (78.88%), Use of hazardous chemicals for pest and disease management ranked II (76.66%) and Less cultivable land ranked III (64.44%). Whereas, out of the economical constraints; Low selling price ranked I (77.77%), Non-availability of labour during peak period ranked II (75.55%) and High cost of agricultural chemicals ranked III (67.77%).
