The research work was conducted in ten rainfed villages of Mahasamund and Rajnandgaon district of Chhattisgarh state, where the project work (NATP-RRPS-34) was carried out. A total of 12 farmers practicing rice-utera cropping system from each selected village were selected randomly. In this way, a total of 120 farmers were taken as respondents. The data were collected through personal interview method. The findings of the study revealed that, the On farm trials in rice-utera cropping system were helpful in increasing the yield. The other important perceptions about OFTs were dissemination of technology and variety replacement. The trends of cultivation of rice varieties before and after OFTs showed that Mahamaya, HMT, MTU-1010 were gaining more area. The high yielding dwarf rice varieties were gaining popularity over traditional varieties. The impact of OFTs on productivity showed that the rice yield was increased followed by Lathyrus. It indicates that due to implementation of OFTs the average yield of rice as well as utera crops was increased significantly. The impact of OFTs on productivity showed that rice yield was increased by more than 58 per cent and maximum 140.9 per cent increase was recorded in grasspea followed by 108.33 per cent in lentil. It indicates that the high yielding dwarf rice varieties were gaining popularity over traditional varieties and the average yield of rice as well as utera crops was increased significantly. Therefore, it is recommended for profitable rice-utera system, proper crop management practices should be initiated from rice to utera crops.Keywords

The present investigation was carried out in 10 villages of Aurangabad and Ahmednagar districsts of Maharashtra state. The total of 12 farmers practising cotton cropping system from each village were selected accordingly. In this way 120 farmers were taken as respondents. The data were collected through personal interview method. Four species of cotton is grown in Maharashtra namely, Gossypium hirsutum, G.arboreum, G. barbandense and G. herbaceum. Out of these, G. hirsutum occupies largest area covering about 52-53 per cent of cotton. Out of total studied varieties, the hybrid varieties such as Gold 50 gave more yield compared to other varieties. Almost all the hybrid varieties were good to be cultivated. The climatic conditions of Maharashtra are also good for getting good cotton yield. Successful cultivation of hybrid cotton in Maharashtra has brought a new hope of hybrid cotton research and development in India as well spread of hybrid cotton would help to increase global cotton production.Keywords

The per capita consumption of wine in India is only 10 ml per annum as against 100 litres per year in Argentina and 65 litres in the European countries. Wine contains natural antioxidants that increase the life. Drinking of wine increases blood circulation that results into efficiency of working and decreases the tensions. Wine also contains mineral components that increase immunity power. So, it was felt necessary to study the consumer buying behaviour for wine with special reference to Sula vineyards. The findings of the study showed that majority of the consumers know about brand name and consider taste of the wine, while most preferred quality and only least think about the price of the wine. It was noted that White and Red wine have more demand in Nashik market. Sula vineyards has the most demand in Nashik market compared to its competitors. Through the study, it is reflected that customers are satisfied about the Sula product, its quality and service.Keywords

A total of 12 farmers practicing rice-utera cropping system from each selected village were selected randomly. In this way, a total of 120 farmers were taken as respondents. The data were collected through personal interview method. Among the major productivity constraints in utera system, poor crop management is the major factor. Lack of knowledge about improved technology, problem of theft/grazing, small size of land holding, high cost of technology and lack of motivation were also found as important constraints in the study area.Keywords

The study aimed at understanding the constraints of banana growers regarding production. The study was conducted in Wardha district in Vidarbha region of Maharashtra state being more concentration of banana cultivation in this district (230 ha). From this district, two tahasil, were purposively selected on the basis of large area under banana production. From these tahasil six villages of banana growers and from each village 15 banana growers were selected for this study. The frequency and percentage of each constraint were worked out to measure the constraint encountered by the respondents. Constraints faced by majority of the respondents were non-availability of electricity in time, losses due to high temperature, fertilizer cost, labour efficiency and other constraints faced by banana growers like lacunae in government policies, subsidies for the banana suckers.Keywords
