Constraints Faced by the Brinjal Growers in Adoption of Recommended Productions Technology

Anand district was selected for the study. Total 120 brinjal growers, with minimum 3 years of experience in brinjal cultivation were selected randomly from twelve villages of selected four Talukas. Findings of this study revealed that major constraints faced by brinjal growers in adoption of recommended production technology of brinjal were high cost of inputs, fluctuations in market rate, unavailability of healthy seedlings, non-availability of labours, high cost of transportation, lack of timely technical guidance, high rate of labours and non-availability of timely credits. The prices of inputs should be minimized, timely technical guidance, good and healthy seedlings be provided, rate of agricultural produce should be regulated and proper marketing facilities should be established were the important suggestions given by brinjal growers for over coming the constraints faced by them.
