Bio-fertlizers are likely to assume greater significance as compliment or supplement to chemical fertilizers, they do not fixe atmospheric nitrogen, improved the soil fertility but also increase the agriculture production so thus, way improvement agro-ecological soundness. The present investigation was carried out adoption behaviour of contact farmers ofKrishi Vigyan Kendra about bio-fertilizers. From correlation co-efficient analysis attitude and adoption had positive and significant contribution with constraint severity of respondents about utilization about biofertilizers. The present study concludes that although majority of the farmers have medium to high level of attitude, however, their adoption behaviour of contact farmers of KVK about bio-fertilizers. The probable reasons are technical, lack of knowledge as well as water availability constraints faced by the farmers in adoption of biofertilizers.Keywords

The present study on technological gap in red gram cultivation was conducted in the year 2015-16 in Amravati district. For this study 80 red gram growers were randomly selected from one tehsil of district with the help of random sampling method. The data were collected with the help of structured interview schedule. Collected data were carefully examined, classified, quantified and tabulated. Frequencies, mean, standard deviation, correlation of co-efficient analysis were employed for interpreting the results. Findings revealed that Maximum per centages of the respondents 47.50 per cent were find in the group of middle aged i.e. 36 to 50 years. Maximum per centages of the respondents (36.25 %) were educated high school level. The majority i.e. (53.75 %) of the respondents regarding experience in red gram cultivation was found in the category of low experience i.e. upto 18 years in red gram cultivation. The majority (33.75 %) of the respondents had land large size of land holding in semi medium 2.01 to 4 ha category. The majority (45.00 %) of the respondents had area under red gram were found in small area category i.e. up to 2 ha. The majority (63.75 %) of the respondents had no source of irrigation. The majority (55.00 %) of the respondents had their annual income ranging 2 lacks and above, 16.25 per cent had an annual income between 50,001 to 1,00,000. More than half of the respondents i.e. 56.25 per cent used high level of source of information channel while, 42.50 per cent and 1.25 per cent were used medium and low level of sources of information of communication channel, respectively. The majority (67.50 %) of the respondents were found in the category of medium level of knowledge. The majority (80.00 %) of the respondents were found in the category of medium level of adoption. It was found that more than three fourth i.e. 80 per cent of the red gram growers belonged to medium category of technological gap. It was observed that very high technological gap was observed regarding use of FYM, hybrid varieties, seed rate, seed treatment, irrigation, use of herbicide plant protection measures and post harvest technology in red gram. In the study it was found that the education, irrigation, sources of information, knowledge and adoption were negatively significant with technological gap at 1 per cent level of significance. Whereas, experience in red gram cultivation and land holding were negatively significant at 5 per cent level of significance. While age, area under red gram and annual income were non-significantly related with technological gap. The highly perceived constraints in technological gap of cultivation of improved recommended practices of red gram which were faced by the farmers were shortage of water, non-availability of labour in time, inadequate source of finance, high cost of improved variety seed, fertilizer, FYM and herbicides, high labour charges, non-availability of storage facility, high charge and non-availability of storehouse, fluctuation price of red gram in market, irregular demand of red gram, non remunerative price during time of glut in market and high transport cost.Keywords

The present study on training need of agricultural input dealers for transfer of technology was conducted in the year 2013-14 in Amravati district. For this study 80 dealers were purposively selected from five tahsils of district with the help of proportionate sampling method. The data were collected with the help of structured interview schedule. Personal interview technique was used for data collection. It was observed that majority of the agricultural input dealers were 'middle' age, with 'medium' experience in fertilizer dealing, information seeking behaviour, risk orientation, economic motivation and cosmopoliteness. Majority of the respondents were 'graduate' and all had 'input dealing' as their major occupation and 'medium' annual income. All of the agricultural input dealers had "not received" training on various aspects related to fertilizers, seeds, insecticides, pesticides and implements. Majority of the agricultural input dealers had supplied 'chemical fertilizers', 'seeds' and 'pesticides'. Most (61.25 %) of the respondents had 'fair' advisory service. Majority (100.00 %) of the agricultural input dealers provided the information about different improved varieties of crops, fertilizers and their doses, time and method of application, control of pest and disease of crops and improved methods of irrigation, soil testing, improved technology etc. In respect of training needs, agricultural input dealers had expressed 'high' training needs on 'micro nutrient fertilizers' followed by 'integrated nutrient management', 'improved varieties and hybrids of different crops', 'types of improved sprayers and dusters', 'information communication technology', 'efficient use of information technology', 'business management' and 'government rules and regulation'. 'Economical problem', 'availability of labours', 'lack of organization of dealers', 'late for getting rupees from farmers', were the major constraints faced by them.Keywords
