Abstract

Tbis paper views suitability of bamboo as an alternative material for packaging purposes upto 20 kg distributed load. Two types of wirebound boxes using 'u' pins, bamboo battens and strips have been described. Strength of these boxes were compared with conventional wooden boxes as well as wire bound wooden veneer boxes. As compared to conventional wooden boxes wire bound bamboo boxes have given better results in flat drop test but slightly lower results in case of top-bottom compression. However, wire bound bamboo box had about 1.9 times the safe value of 800 kg for top-bottom compression test for the transportation and storage of distributed load up to 20 kg. It was found that wirebound bamboo boxes are better in their capacity to withstand flat drops and top-bottom compression than the wirebound wooden veneer boxes from poplar (Populus ciliata). Wirebound bamboo boxes are collapsable, reusable and require no machinery for their manufacture. They may better suit our rural people.

Abstract

The need of the hour is to extend the various kinds of modern technologies among the farming community through different methods of extension. In this perspective, training programmes play an important role. Keeping in view, to evaluate the adoption of the technologies given by KVK, Pratapgarh, extensive surveys were conducted in and around the areas where trainings had been given by distinct personnels. Out of 157 respondents (64.97 per cent trained and 35.03 per cent untrained) 35.02 per cent followed seed treatment practices, 17.69 per cent followed zero tillage technology and 16.97 per cent adopted the use of bio fertilizers among the other agro-technologies disseminated viz., Direct Seeded Rice, Fisheries, Beekeeping, Nursery and Nadep/vermicomposting. The adoption trend was also worked out with the education level of respondents. The actively participation and adoption was found with the respondents having education of High School, Intermediate and Graduate level.
