Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 61
Abstract
The productivity level of potato is observed to be low in Madhya Pradesh due to various reasons among these are climate and adoptability of technologies. In order to narrow down the gap in the productivity, potato growers need to adopt the recommended technology package in their situation. With this back ground the status of adoption of production technologies and productivity of potato crop are to be essential to be assessed and training needs are the other important issue to be looked into for the policy makers in general and the farmers in particular. There is an urgent need in this direction to channelize our efforts to increase the yield by identifying the training needs and the extent of adoption of improved practices. It is in this background this study was taken up with an objective to know the extent of adoption of scientific practices and their training needs. Training is essential to induce motivation, create confidence and inculcate efficiency in an individual. Training is also inevitable for imparting new knowledge and updating the skills of the farmers. Training of farmers had assumed further importance and need in the context of the high yielding varieties and improved practices in agriculture and allied fields.
