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

Numerous common eggplant varieties have been developed in India, which when grown under variable environments, the magnitude of the growth and flowering is influenced by them. In order to determine the reasons for such variations the effect of the growing conditions on growth and flowering from the eggplant cultivars with the region specific in production were investigated. The cultivars were investigated during four successive environments at two different locations in Rajasthan with contrasting environmental components such as soil and climate. The phenotypic response of the genotypes was followed with a focus on the size of the growth and the direction of flowering within the group of genotypes as a result of each factor: season, location of growing, genotype and their complex interactions. The collected data were analyzed and provided sufficient information on the genotype×environment interaction. Significant differences were found among the investigated genotypes by growth and earliness traits regardless of their specific response to the year conditions and the location. The genotype×environment interaction was significantly high and non-linear. This means that under changeable environments the different cultivars react differently and can, therefore, be grouped according to the growth and earliness stability. This is very clear from the environmental mean scores, environments E1 was more stable with a lowest mean value for earliness traits and highest mean value had the highest genotypic response for growth traits. Seven genotypes were found to be stable across the environments for days to anthesis of first flower, eight genotypes were found stable for days to 50 per cent flowering and ten genotypes were also found stable for days to first fruit picking. Among the stable genotypes for earliness the Pusa Upkar and Punjab Sadabahar×Pusa Upkar were found to be stable for all the earliness traits. They earliness below the average mean days of all the genotypes under test, with a slope of unity and the mean square due to deviation from regression equal to zero. The five genotypes were identified for leaf area, four genotypes for plant height, three genotypes for plant spread and two genotypes for number of branches per plant as most widely adapted genotypes for growth parameters based on stability analysis. Thus, these stable genotypes can be recommended for commercial cultivation over wide range of environments or can be used in further breeding programmes.Keywords
