Abstract

A motive is goal directed and need satisfying behaviour. It explains why people do the things they do. It influences a person to do a thing in a certain way. It has the promise for future award at the end of activity or later on. Marigold with their bright and attractive shades are considered good for ornamental purpose. However, these flowers are also known for their medicinal properties. It can be summarized that marigold growers were mainly motivated for growing marigold for getting higher production and income, and to fetch high price. The study was conducted in three talukas of Anand district of Gujarat state, 120 farmers were selected who were involved in marigold cultivation. The data were collected through pre-tested structured interview schedule and appropriate statistical procedures were employed to analyze the data.

Abstract

At present considerable quantities of mango seed kernels and tomato waste produced at fruit canning factories are being wasted. In order to find out whether these products can be utilized without any ill effect, in the present study an attempt was made to replace concentrate mixture from the ration of adult bullocks by either 50 per cent tomato waste or 40 per cent mango seed kernels.

Abstract

Wheat (Triticum aestivum) crop is one of the most important cereal crops in Gujarat and in many other states in the country. Wheat grain is used as human food and straw as fodder for the cattle. Wheat fodder is considered to be poor in nutrients. It has been observed by I.V.R.I. and by Sen that the chemical composition of a fodder differs at different stages of growth.

Abstract

Agricultural team sponsored by Ford Foundation recommended extensive use of food byproducts and waste materials. Study group appointed by I. C A. R. has also recommended the use of number of byproducts. This shows the acute shortage of feeds for our cattle and other animals. Mango seed kernel is a byproduct from mango fruit canning industry and it is also collected by merchants in different areas. Kehar, Kehar and Chanda, Kehar and Sahai, and Sahai have studied some of the unconventional feeds. In the present study mango seed kernel was tried to see its effect on milch cows.

Abstract

Hybrid napier (Pennisetum Purpureum Schmn and Thonn) is a promising green fodder for its profuse yield. Ray et al have reported about double the protein content in hybrid napier as compared to local napier grass. As a result of earlier work at this Institute, Patel et al have reported 50 days cutting intervals for hybrid napier to get maximum yield of dry matter and nutrients. They have also reported considerable variations in the composition and the dry matter yield of the hybrid napier during different seasons.

Abstract

It is a known fact that there is a very acute shortage of feeds for our animals. Whatever we have to feed them, is severely deficient in protein. This has competed people to find out new sources both for supplying of enough feeds and also enough protein. Cullison, Davis et al, woodward and Shephard, Mitchell et al Bently et al Tiborne and Johnson et al carried out work to study the utilization of urea, ammonia and other nitrogen sources by farm animals, by mixing these in silage.

Abstract

The present study was carried out during the year 2009-10 in Anand district of Gujarat state, to assess the extent of adoption of recommended production technology of potato by potato growers. The study revealed that majority of the potato growers belonged to medium level of adoption. Most of potato growers were found in non-adaptor category in respect of certain important items like chemical weed control and disease control. So as to enhance adoption, it is necessary to involve the farmers in extension education programme. It would facilitate the dissemination of recent technologies.

Abstract

Present study was conducted in twelve villages of Tarapur Taluka of Anand district as it has major paddy growing area as compared to other Talukas of Anand district, 10 respondents from each village having minimum three years of experience were selected at random, making the sample of 120 respondents. The findings of this study indicate that except size of family and type of family, all the variables included in the study had significant association with their level of participation. Six variables viz., decision making ability, knowledge, scientific orientation, type of family, occupation and education together contributed 92.90 per cent variation for determining extent of participation. As far as direct, indirect and substantial effect of rural youth's trait is concerned. Decision making ability was the key variable in exerting considerable direct and substantial effect on participation in relation to paddy cultivation technology. Knowledge and economic motivation were the major factor in determining the level of participation through positive indirect effect.

Abstract

Due to non-availability of a proper scale to measure farmers’ attitude towards bio-control measures of plant protection, it was thought necessary to construct a scale for the purpose. Keeping this in view, an attempt has been made to develop a scale for measuring the attitude of farmers towards bio-control measures of plant protection. The technique chosen to develop the attitude scale was of “Scale Product Method” which combines the Thurston’s (1946) technique of Equal Appearing Interval Scale for selection of the items and Likert’s techniques of summated rating for ascertaining the response on the scale.

Keywords

Attitude Scale, Bio-Control Agents, Plant Protection Measures.
