This study was conducted in Chhindwara district of Madhya Pradesh for identifying the constraints faced by potato growers. Six villages were selected randomly from the potato growing areas and 20 farmers were selected from each village, thus, 120 respondents were included in the sample for investigation. Results showed that important constraints as perceived by the respondents were improper technical knowledge about bio-agents and bio-insecticides, lack of knowledge about light trap and pheromone trap, high cost of seed, fertilizers and insecticides etc. This needs attention of the KVK and State Deptt. for delineating the constraints which in turn would enhance the adoption of the IPM practicing leading to the green and clean agriculture.

Abstract


This study was conducted in Chhindwara district of Madhya Pradesh for identifying the constraints faced by potato growers. Six villages were selected randomly from the potato growing areas and 20 farmers were selected from each village, thus, 120 respondents were included in the sample for investigation. Results showed that important constraints as perceived by the respondents were improper technical knowledge about bio-agents and bio-insecticides, lack of knowledge about light trap and pheromone trap, high cost of seed, fertilizers and insecticides etc. This needs attention of the KVK and State Deptt. for delineating the constraints which in turn would enhance the adoption of the IPM practicing leading to the green and clean agriculture.
