Abstract: A field trial was conducted in Instructional farm, Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Angul of Odisha during kharif seasons of 2013 and 2014 to study weed growth, yield components, economics and nutrient uptake in maize as influenced by various herbicide applications under rainfed condition. The experiment comprised of seven treatments viz. at 60 DAS(173.34) and weed dry biomass(141.41 gm -2 ) was found in weedy check . Hence, farmers practice was found to be effective in case easy availability of labours where as in case of non availability of laborers, application of atrazine 1.0 kg ha -1 fb one hand weeding at 30 DAS was found economically viable for weed control with better nutrient uptake , higher grain yield and net profit

ICT for Transfer of Technology in Livestock Management ICT FOR TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY IN LIVESTOCK MANAGEMENT

ABSTRACT The dairy sector in India plays a pivotal role in upliftment of socio-economic and employment generation for rural households. India is the top milk producing nation in the world contributing about 15% to the global milk pool. In the ongoing decade (2000 onwards) the compound growth rate of milk production has been more than 3.5% per annum. The contribution of agriculture and allied sectors is about 14.20% of total GDP while livestock sector alone is contributing about 32% of agriculture. Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the operational process, rural development, communication, just in time services plays the major roles in fulfilling the needs to achieve the productivity of their services and products. Hence, the only alternative to empower the villages is to use ICT tools to bridge the gaps in adoption of recommended new technologies. The ICTs include community radio and television, cellular-telephony, use of computing devices, digital imaging, the Internet and Wide Area Networking (WAN), Wi-Fi and Mixed Media. The use of ICT to contribute for sustainable growth in livestock production in India is not a matter of providing computers and Internet connectivity or computerization of livestock research and development institutions. Krishi Vigyan Kendra is very important base for transfer of technology from laboratory to farmers' field with respect to agricultural and allied subjects. The KVK model is aimed to provide timely and appropriate technical advice to the needed farmers on need basis. The modern information tools viz., mobile, lap-top and internet, agri-portal system through internet, market price information system through mobile phone are the key ICT based technologies delivered to the farmers and timely information/advices are communicating as per the need of the situation

Correlatiing Growth, Yield and Adoption of Urdbean Technologies

ABSTRACT in farmers' practices during 2008. The result revealed that even in case of lowest yield under FLD, the increase was recorded to be 43 per cent over the farmers' practice in the year 2005. The economic viability and profitability showed that the benefit cost ratio (B: C) was higher in the case of improved agro-technologies (FLD) with 2.60 as against 1.94 in farmers' practice (FP). The net return from improved agro-technologies (FLD) wa

ABSTRACT A Field survey was conducted to study indigenous cow management practices followed by the tribal farmers of Dungarpur district by Rajasthan. It was found that a significantly higher percentage (90.00%) of responds resorted to natural service and only 2.50 percent adopted artificial insemination (A.I.). The postpartum breeding intervals in 11.25, 67.50, 8.75 and 12.50 percent cases were 2-3, 3-5, 5-

Impact of Frontline Demonstration on Adoption of Improved Practices of Oilseed Crops

ABSTRACT This investigation is an attempt to study the impact of front line demonstration on oilseed productivity. The study was conducted in three villages of Tikamgarh block and district of Madhya The extent of adoption of improved agricultural technologies is a crucial aspect under innovation diffusion process and the most important for enhancing agricultural production at a faster rate. Large number of technologies evolved in the field of agriculture is not being accepted and adopted to its fullest extent by the farmers. The gap between recommendations made by the scientists and actual use by farmers is frequently encountered. With the start of technology mission on oilseeds, frontline demonstration on oilseed crops using new crop production technology was started with the objectives of showing the production potential of the new technologies under real farm situation over the locally cultivated oilseed crops. The main objective of FLD is to demonstrate the crop production technologies and management practices in the farmers' fields under different agro-climatic regions and farming situations. The Krishi Vigyan Kendra has followed the concept of FLD in true spirit and conducted large number of demonstrations in different villages of Tikamgarh district. Oilseeds are next only to food grains in acreage, production and value & form an essential part of human diet. Groundnut, rapeseed and mustard, soybean, sunflower, sesame, safflower and niger are the major source of edible oils METHODOLOGY The investigation was conducted in Tikamgarh district. The district comprises six blocks. One block namely, Tikamgarh was purposively selected and three villages were taken on the basis of large number of FLD conducted on oilseed crops during Kharif and rabi season. Total 120 respondents were selected from three villages. The data were collected with the help of interview schedule using pre tested structured schedule by personal interview method. The collected data were analyzed in frequency and percentage. The rank correlation were calculated through formula suggested by Spearman as follows: Where, di = difference in rank n = No. of observations between the ranks of each observation on the two variables are calculated
