Findings revealed that out of 200 respondents, 45.50 per cent respondents had low information processing behaviour and 31.50 per cent farmers having medium level of information processing behaviour. Whereas, only 23.00 per cent respondents were observed in high information processing behaviour group. Results further revealed that 51.00 and 40.00 per cent marginal and small farmers, respectively were in the low information processing behaviour group. Likewise, 28.00 and 35.00 per cent marginal and small farmers had medium information processing behaviour about improved pea cultivation practices, respectively. Whereas, 21.00 per cent marginal farmers and 25.00 per cent small farmers were found in high information processing behaviour group about pea production technology. It was noted that among the selected information processing modes, information evaluation methods were used upto greatest extent by the pea growers with MPS 60.15. These were followed by information transfer methods with MPS 44.60. However, information storage methods with 40.11 MPS were least used information processing methods by the pea growers. (iii) Findings indicated that there was significant difference in information processing behaviour between marginal and small farmers about pea cultivation technology. The mean value further indicates that small farmers had higher information processing behaviour than marginal farmers about pea cultivation technology.Keywords

Pea (Pisum sativum L.) is one of the important vegetable crops grown all over the world. It is a cool season crop of the tropical and sub-tropical regions. Pea is the major vegetable crop of rabi season in Rajasthan. It occupies of area of 3729 hectares with the production of 5807 tonnes in Rajasthan (vital statistics, 2009-10). It is mainly cultivated in Jaipur, Nagaur, Kota, Bundi, Alwar and Chittorgarh districts in the state. The Kota region of Rajasthan is leading in area and production of pea. It occupies on an area of 1176 hectares with the production of 1493 tonnes in Kota region. The study revealed that out of 200 respondents, 50.50 per cent respondents had medium level of knowledge about improved pea production technology. This was followed by 21.00 per cent farmers having low knowledge level regarding pea production technology. Whereas, only 28.50 per cent respondents were observed in the high knowledge group. Analysis of results further revealed that 24.00 and 18.00 per cent marginal farmers and small farmers respectively were in the low knowledge group. Likewise, 50.00 and 51.00 per cent marginal and small farmers had medium level of knowledge, respectively. Whereas, 26.00 per cent marginal farmers and 31.00 per cent small farmers possessed high knowledge about improved pea cultivation technology.Keywords
