The present study was undertaken in Dharwad and Kalaghatgi talukas of Dharwad district of Karnataka state having large area under cultivation of paddy, from selected talukas the list of villages was prepared and five villages from each taluka were selected on the basis of highest area under paddy crop. From selected villages, the list of farmers was prepared village wise and 15 farmers from each villages were selected by random sampling technique. Total 150 respondents were selected for the study. The data were collected by personal interview. Based on the finding of the study majority of the respondents were having medium level of knowledge, followed by high level and low level of knowledge. While in case of adoption, that majority of the respondents had medium level of adoption, followed by high and low level of adoption. Among various personal, socio-economic profile characteristics of the respondents, education, land holding, area under SRI method, family income, social participation, mass participation, had highly significant relationship with at 5 per cent level of adoption whereas experience in SRI method, innovative proneness, risk orientation, extension contact, participation in training, cosmopoliteness, farmers field school, had highly and positively significant relationship with at 1 per cent level of adoption whereas only age had non-significant relationship with the knowledge and adoption of SRI method paddy growers.Keywords

Rice is a staple food for more than half of the world’s population. World rice production nearly doubled since the 1960s to the 1980s, mainly due to the green revolution. A major issue with the traditional system of paddy production, particularly green revolution technology is input intensive and favours cash rich farmers. Increasing prices of agricultural inputs prevent poor farmers from completely adopting modern production technologies. Water demand by rice farmers was also continue increasing under such circumstances, any strategy that could produce higher rice yields with less water and less expenditure is the need of the day. Under such circumstances the system of rice intensification (SRI) method is suitable and followed by the farmers. System of rice intensification is a method for increasing the productivity of rice cultivation while at the same time reducing inputs, including seeds and fertilizers, and water requirements. The present study was conducted in Dharwad and Kalaghatgi taluks of Dharwad district, to study the constraints and suggestions of SRI method of paddy growers, constraints confronted by paddy growers under SRI method of paddy cultivation. Study revealed that the major constraints in SRI production were weed management, skill labour required in transplanting, manual conoweeder and marker operation, availability of FYM, nursery management, lack of irrigation and drainage facility, and the major suggestions regarding SRI method of paddy cultivation were need to develop suitable chemical and mechanical weed control, make sure the availability of cono weeder and marker in the market, arranging field days and exposure visits to increase knowledge and adoption of SRI paddy growers.Keywords

The present investigation was undertaken to find out the marketing pattern followed by the soybean growers. The study covered 15 villages from 3 taluks of Dharwad district to form a sample of 150 respondents. A pre-tested structured interview schedule was used to collect the data from the respondents by personal interview method. The results indicated that, 56.00 per cent of the respondents sell their produce immediately after the harvest if the prices are favourable, followed by 54.66 per cent of the farmers collect the price information from their relatives, friends and neighbours who visit the market, 47.33 per cent farmers sold their produce in local market at village level, 44.00 per cent of the respondents store their produce for short time to get better price if the prices are less at the time of harvest, whereas only 22.66 per cent of the respondents had followed grading of the produce.Keywords
