Women play a significant and crucial role in agricultural development and allied fields. It is most unfortunate that the role of women in agricultural has not highlighted. By and large they have remained as invisible workers. Therefore, efforts were made to role of farm women in agricultural activities. The study was undertaken in Deoria district of U.P. during 2013-14. The data were collected from 180 farm women by adopting the proportionate random sampling method. The results of study revealed that under agriculture related task, the data reveals that drying, cleaning, storage of grains and processing of farm produce were the major farm operations where in women role was cent per cent. In the terms of decision making majority of farm women did not take any decision single handly. Farm women took single hand decision regarding live stock management (40.55%) followed by farm supplies and inputs (28.88%), area for different crops (18.88%), maintenance of implements (14.44%), labour management (12.22%), capital management (9.44%), and marketing of agricultural produce only 8.88 per cent. It could be concluded that the women of Deoria district of U.P. state were highly involved in all agricultural practice. So, it is need to develop suitable, strategy training to women about modern technologies to make them more skilled for agricultural production.Keywords

Rhizoctonia solani causing ischolar_main and stem rot in young transplanted plants is a major soil borne pathogen of chilli (Capsicum annuum L.). Poor growth of affected plants, yellowing and drying of foliage accompanied with partially or fully damaged ischolar_main system are major symptoms of the disease. Studies were carried out to evaluate efficacy of soil application of ten commercially available formulations of Trichoderma harzianum and T. viride, under laboratory and field conditions for efficacy in suppressing Rhizoctonia ischolar_main rot and promoting plant growth in chilli. Soil drenching by carbendazim 75 per cent WP (0.2%) was also taken as standard chemical check. Except BF 10 and BF 5 all the formulations which were tested in the field experiment were effective in reducing Rhizoctonia rot incidence in chilli as compared to control. However, disease incidence was least (12%) for the BF4. Reduction in disease incidence in this treatment was comparable to soil drenching by carbendazim (12%). Among other treatments BF3 was second most effective bioagent against Rhizoctonia ischolar_main rot All the bioagents promoted plant growth in terms of plant height, ischolar_main length, shoot dry weight and ischolar_main dry weight. Maximum shoot dry weight was recorded for BF4 (60.5 g) followed by BF3 (60.00 g), BF6 (56.5 g) and BF2 (55.6 g). Similar trend of ischolar_main dry weight was recorded. Highest rhizosphere soil population was recorded in case of bioagent formulation BF4 (4.1x106 cfu/g soil) followed by BF3 (3.8x106 cfu/g soil) and BF6 (3.4x106 cfu/g soil).Keywords

Honey has offered great promise to some of the most under nourished areas of the word. Bee benefit, the plants not only increasing their yield, but also improve crop quality since beekeeping does not compete for inputs with other farming or crop, it is an ideal programme for integration. Keeping the importance of beekeeping a study was undertaken to find out the socio-economic and psychological profile and training needs of beekeepers. The study highlighted that majority of the respondents belonged to middle to young age group, medium to high level of family education, socioeconomic status, innovativeness and risk bearing capacity. The results also showed that majority of respondents had low to medium level of extension contact and size of land holding, respectively. In respect to training needs of beekeepers in different areas, it was found highest in protection of bee pests, diseases and other hazards followed by the business of bees, beehive products and their extraction, processing and medicinal values, management of bee colonies during different seasons and essential operations.Keywords

Women have been an integral part of social structure not only because their importance in the perpetuation of human race but also by virtue of their significant contribution in socio-economic progress. Despite this, time and again they have been subjected to discrimination due to gender bias and have been denied equality of status and opportunities in social economic and political spheres of life. The present study was an effort to know the profile of elected women village Panchayat members and constraints faced by elected women Panchayat members in role performance. Total seventy five women representatives randomly selected from Pusa and Kalyanpur block of Samastipur district in Bihar. The study reveals that majority of the women members of the Gram Panchayat were within 35 years of age (73.33%), 46.66 per cent of respondents were from forward caste, a large majority (98.66 % and 97.33%) of EWVPMs were married and were housewives only, respectively, personally possessed low (up to 8th standard) level of education (48.0%) and also had high family education (29.33%). They by and large enjoyed a nuclear family (64.00%) but the majority had 3-5 members (42.66%), these respondents owned land up to 2.5 acre (58.66%) and lived with low material possession (84.0%). The family income of more than half of the members (64.0%) of respondents had low income group below 20,000 annually, having as many as (42.66%) of the members had mixed house (76.0%) of respondents had not membership of any social institution. Out of 11 constraints of role performance by EWVPMs, 8 viewed as most serious were lack of resources for development work (90.66%), lack of fund on time for carrying out the work of the projects (88.00%), lack of knowledge to the members (82.66%), non-availability of persons well versed with the rural projects (80.0%), lack of interest in Mukhiya for developmental works (80.0%), carelessness among villagers for development works (74.66%) lack of education among Panchayat members (69.33%) and bribery and misappropriation of funds (54.66%). The maximum number of EWVPMs considered economical constraints to be acting as the greatest hindrance in the way of their role performance (93.33%).
