A bio-fertilizer is a substance which contains living micro-organisms which, when applied to seeds, plant surfaces, or soil, colonize the Rhizosphere or the interior of the plant and promotes growth by increasing the supply or availability of primary nutrients to the host plant. Bio fertilizers are known to play a number of vital roles in soil fertility, crop productivity and production in agriculture as they are eco-friendly and cannot at any cost replace chemical fertilizers that are indispensable for getting maximum crop yields. Junagadh Agricultural University is engaged in production of bio-fertilizers and made it available to farming community since year 2005-06. In the year 2014-15, JAU soldAzotobacter, Rhizobium and PSM (each 500 ml bottles) to the farmer were1981, 11698 and 1987, respectively. While in the year, 2015-16 it was 2857, 2520 and 4552 bottles, respectively. Whereas in the year 2016-17, total sell of Azotobacter, Rhizobium and PSM (each 500 ml bottles) was 2716, 2994 and 4520, respectively. It shows static adoption by farmers which need to be enhanced. Junagadh Agricultural University made available bio fertilizer in the brand name “SAWAJ bio fertilizer” to farming community since year 2005- 06. Since then its production and selling increased manifold. Therefore, this study is undertaken for following objectives. To know the constraints faced by respondents in adoption of bio fertilizers. To seek suggestions to overcome the constraints. Present study was carried out in Surendranagar district. Surendranagar district has 10 talukas. Out of 10 talukas, 5 talukas were randomly selected. Then from each taluka, 20 respondents who are using SAWAJ brand bio fertilizers were selected for study purpose. Thus total 100 respondents were selected from five talukas who have used SAWAJ brand bio-fertilizers. For study purpose, an interview schedule was prepared and data collected through the structured interview schedule. For analysis and interpretation of data, appropriate statistical methods and measures used. Findings of this study shows that in case of constraints faced by respondents, unavailability of SAWAJ brand bio fertilizer at taluka level and lack of moisture in soil at the time of application in standing crop were the most important constraints. Most of the respondents (53%) suggested that SAWAJ brand bio fertilizers should made locally available and Govt. should provide subsidy on SAWAJ brand bio fertilizers (52%).Keywords

Trichoderma harzianum is a saprophytic fungus which is used as a biological control agent against a wide range of economically important aerial and soil borne plant pathogens.Trichoderma harzianum is used for foliar application, seed treatment and soil treatment for suppression of various disease causing fungal pathogens. Junagadh Agricultural University has been engaged in production of Trichoderma harzianum in the brand name “SAWAJ Trichoderma” and made it available to farming community since year 2005-06. Since then its production and selling increased manyfold. So becomes essential to know the respondent’s level of adoption of SAWAJ Trichoderma among its end users i.e. farmers. Total 100 respondents were selected for the study purpose from five talukas of district who have used SAWAJ brand Trichoderma.Keeping this in mind, this study was carried out with the following objectives. To study the socio-economic profile of respondents. To determine the level of adoption of SAWAJ Trichoderma. Findings of this study show that majority of respondents belonged to middle age group (55%) and educated upto primary education (34%), had medium size of land holding (49%) and most of them had social participation (61%) and had actively participated in extension programmes (94%). Majority of respondents (39%) had their annual income ranging from Rs.100000 to 150000. 68 per cent respondents preferred adopt innovation after seeing it successful adoption by others. Majority of respondents had used it in crops like groundnut and cumin crop. Majority of respondents had partially adopted the SAWAJ Trichoderma and had positive perception about the use of SAWAJ Trichoderma. Most of them opined that application of Trichoderma is benefitted where a fungal disease appears every year and SAWAJ Trichoderma can be mix with FYM. Majority of respondents (69%) were using Trichoderma since last one year. 63 per cent respondents opined that they will continue the use of SAWAJ Trichoderma for their farm field.Keywords

Findings of this study shows that in case of constraints faced by respondents, most important constraints was lack of moisture in soil at the time of application in standing crop and labour cost increased due to its non mixing condition with chemical fertilizer. Most of the respondents (66%) suggested that packing should be good and free from dusting and viable and made Sawaj Trichoderma available at local level (63%).Keywords

This study makes an effort to model service-headway distribution at manually operated toll plazas (MTC) under mixed traffic conditions. To identify the most suitable probability distribution among the selected candidate distributions, Kolmogorov–Smirnov, Ander-son–Darling, and chi-squared tests were performed. It was found that the generalized extreme value (GEV) was the most suited distribution for modelling service-headway distribution at tollbooths. The results show that GEV distribution parameters can capture possi-ble variations in service headway at tollbooths under MTC reasonably well. The study results can also be used for capacity and level-of-service estimation and the development of warrants for converting MTC to electronic lanes.Keywords
