RELATIONAL ANALYSIS OF INFORMATION NEEDS OF GROUNDNUT GROWERS ABOUT GROUNDNUT PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 13
Abstract
Gujarat accounts for one third of the total area under groundnut in the country. In term of production, Gujarat contributes around 30 per cent to the country’s groundnut production. Groundnut cultivation in Gujarat predominantly concentrated in Saurashtra region. Saurashtra is an oil pouch of the India. All India cover the share of Saurashtra is 25 per cent by area and 27 per cent by production. With a view to support larger group of groundnut growers with agricultural information in future, it seems worthwhile to determine the information needs of the groundnut growers. The result of the study revealed that majority of the groundnut growers (68.33 per cent) were fall under groups of information needs about groundnut production technology. Attempts are being made to ascertain the extent of association between the variables and their direction. The study data inferred that the characteristics of the respondents like extension participation and mass media exposure had positive and significant association with the information needs of respondents, while four variables like cosmopoliteness, economic motivation, scientific orientation and risk orientation had negative and significant association. The characteristics of the respondents like age, education and social participation had positive and non-significant association with the information needs of respondents, while three variables like size of land holding, annual income and market orientation had negative and non-significant association.
