Groundnut oil is an edible oil. It finds extensive use as a cooking medium both as refine oil and vanaspati Ghee. It is used in soap making and in manufacturing cosmetics and lubricants, olein, stearin and the raw, roasted or sweetened kernels are also consumed. It expected that the study provide a feedback to the concerned scientist working in Agricultural Universities, extension functionaries and policy makers of development departments associated with rural development programmes. The present study will also help to extension workers those who are working with the summer groundnut growers in general and plan and transfer of messages about sustainable cultivation. Present study was carried out in 12 villages of Rahuri, Sangamner, Akole, Rahata, Newasa and ShrirampurTahasils of Ahmednagar The list of summer groundnut growing villages of was obtained from Taluka Krishi Adhikari. Two villages from each tehsil that is 12 villages were selected for the study on the basis of area under summer groundnut crop. A total of 10 summer groundnut growers from each village were selected randomly on the basis of area under summer groundnut crop. Hence, in 6 tehsils, 12 villages and 120 respondents were selected for the present study. A majority of the summer groundnut growers were in medium knowledge level about recommended cultivation practices and medium adoption about recommended package of practices. Farmers have lack of knowledge about plant protection (68.33 %). So need based training programme should arrange by Agriculture Department, Agriculture Universities and NGO’s for the summer groundnut to improve their knowledge and skill.Keywords

Maharashtra is a significant producer and global exporter of gerbera and rose. It is the largest producer of gerbera in the country. It has accomplished this horticulture success and exports in 2009, with just 12.00 per cent of its cultivated land dedicated to floriculture. Hundreds of families engaged in cultivation of gerbera in Maharashtra. The entrepreneurial behaviour is not necessarily doing new things but also doing things in a new way that has been already done. The entrepreneur is an economic man who strives to maximize his profits by adoption of innovations. However, entrepreneurs are not simply innovators, they are mean with a will to act, to resume risk and to bring changes through organization of human efforts (Dannof, 1949). Now it is felt that, the economic growth and development of advanced countries is largely increased due to entrepreneurship among their community rather than to capital. However, entrepreneurs are not simply innovators, they are mean with a will to act, to resume risk and to bring changes through organization of human efforts (Dannof, 1949). Now it is felt that, the economic growth and development of advanced countries is largely increased due to entrepreneurship among their community rather than to capital. The specific objectives of the study were to study the entrepreneurial behaviour of gerbera growers. The present study was conducted in Ahmednagar District of Maharashtra state. Ahmednagar district was purposively selected as it has the maximum area under gerbera cultivation and ranks first in production. The data was collected by interviewing 120 gerbera growers with well-designed and pre-tested schedules. Later simple mean, percentage, standard deviation and correlation co-efficient were used to know the relationship between selected independent and dependent variables. The study revealed that majority of the gerbera growers had medium level of entrepreneurial behaviour, followed by low and high level of entrepreneurial behaviour. This might be because of their medium level of innovativeness, achievement motivation, decision making ability, economic motivation, leadership ability and management orientation.Keywords
