The investigation was conducted during year 2012-2013 to study the entrepreneurial behaviour of farmers in Marathwada region of Maharashtra by selecting 125 respondents through random sampling. A pretested structured interview schedule was used to collect the information through personal interview method. Data analyzed by using mean, frequency, percentage, standard deviation and correlation co-efficient. Majority of farmers (51.20%) belonged to medium level of innovativeness, medium farm decision making (63.20%) with medium achievement motivation (58.40%). About (55.20%) farmers had medium knowledge of farm enterprises with medium (71.20%) risk taking ability. The data revealed that 63.20 per cent had medium information seeking behaviour with low leadership ability (40.00%) and medium cosmopoliteness (56.80%). The overall study revealed that farmers had medium entrepreneurial behaviour. It could be observed that, six independent variables i.e. farming experience, education, land holding, annual income, assets and level of aspiration showed positive and significant relationship at 0.05 level of probability, whereas extension contact showed positive and significant relationship at 0.01 level of probability and three independent variables i.e. occupation, social participation and mass media use had non significant relationship with their entrepreneurial behaviour.Keywords

Soybean is known as golden bean in India. Soybean is grown successfully in various agro climatic conditions ranging from temperate region to subtropical and tropical regions. Marathwada Krishi Vidyapeeth developed various technologies and recommendations for soybean cultivation. This study was conducted to study the adoption of these technologies and their socio-economic impact on farmers and also to understand the constraints faced by the farmers in adopting the MKV recommended technologies in soybean crop. The present study was conducted in the jurisdiction of MKV, Parbhani. The data was collected from the respondents by personally interviewing them with the help of specially designed interview schedule. Twenty five respondents from each of the villages were selected randomly, thus, a sample size of 100 was selected for the study. The results revealed that majority of the respondents had middle age group, educated up to secondary school, semi medium land holding, high experience, well for irrigation, uses surface irrigation and fair category of use of source of irrigation. It was also found that more than half of the respondents had low adoption category about recommended technology of soybean crop and majority of respondents expressed that low impact of technology. It was also found that lack of knowledge of improved technology stands, labour problem and high rate and unavailability of fertilizers at proper time were the major constraints face by them in adoption of MKV recommended technologies.Keywords

Dairy enterprise, next to agriculture, not only provides continuous income and improves dietary standards of family, but also supplements the income and reduces unemployment to a large number of the rural people. This study was conducted to study the various constraints faced by these dairy farmers while managing their enterprise. The study was conducted in Latur district of Maharashtra state. Two tahsils and four villages from each tahsil were selected randomly. Fifteen dairy farmers from eight villages were selected to comprise a sample of 120 respondents. The multistage random sampling was used to select district, tahsil, village and dairy farmers. The respondents were personally interviewed and the data collected were processed and statistically analyzed by using statistical techniques like frequency and percentage. During research it was found that, lack of storage facilities for milk, high cost of concentrates and distant location of Artificial Insemination Centers are three major constraints to the dairy farmers in management of their dairy enterprise.Keywords

In India hardly 35 per cent of the total cultivated area is under irrigation. With all efforts we can bring only 50 per cent of the total cultivated area under irrigation and the rest of 50 per cent of the total cultivated area will be permanently under the mercy of rain. In order to increase the production, productivity in dry land area and to narrow down the economic status between irrigated farmer and rainfed farmer, watershed concept has been evolved. In order to achieve an overall improvement in dry land areas, all the aforesaid components were brought under one umbrella that itself is called as watershed management. So it is necessary to know about how many people have knowledge about soil and water conservation practices. With this the study entitled extent of knowledge about soil and water conservation practices by the farmers in watershed development project area was undertaken. The major result was that, majority of the farmers had medium level of knowledge of soil and water conservation practices.Keywords

For the study, Udgir tehsil of Latur district was selected and from five villages in all ninety cattle tail-hair producers were selected. Data pertained for the year 2007-08. The results revealed that mostly cattle tail-hair producers were from middle age group with education level up to Secondary School. Mostly herd size of cattle was low in the study area. Intensively, cattle tail- hair rope was used for seed drill and offspring’s palana. Lack of skill of industrial products of cattle tail-hair can be solved by training to youth on manufactured products. All the suggestions can be considered in policy making for solving the problems of cattle tail-hair producers.Keywords
