Socio-Personal Analysis and Constraints Encountered by the Sugarcane Growers of Burhanpur District (M.P.)

The study was conducted in Burhanpur District of (M.P) in 2010. The majority of the farmers reported lack of credit in time, followed by non-availability of seeds in time, lack of irrigation facility, unavailability of improved varieties of seeds, lack of training programmes about improved cultivation, insufficient knowledge about plant protection, lack of information in right time, lack of fertilizer in time, non-availability of inputs in time and lack of field visit by extension workers and agriculture officers. The attention should be paid on the constraints faced by sugarcane growers in adoption of recommended sugarcane production technology. These constraints need to be highlighted and dealt with by the concerned authorities and departments so that the constraints can be removed.
