Bikaner, 50 FLDs were conducted at farmers field in 9 villages of Bikaner district. Similarly in Jaipur 100 FLDs were conducted at farmer field in 22 All the 31 villages where FLDs were conducted by KVKs were included in the study. The total sample size was 300 consisting of 150 beneficiary and 150 non-beneficiary farmer's. Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea) is one of the most important oilseed crops in India.
