Abstract

India is one of the largest producers of oilseeds in the world and occupies an important position in the Indian agricultural economy. The productivity of groundnut farming is currently declining due to pest and disease attacks, use of old and traditional low-yielding varieties. To tackle the issues demonstrations on cluster mode are essential. Cluster Frontline Demonstration (CFLD) is conducted by Subject Matter Specialists (SMSs) and scientists in a systemic manner on selected farmers field to spread the new variety and groundnut production technologies. The ICAR- KVK, Tindivanam had organized CFLDs on groundnut crop in two villages viz., Nolambur and Kilmavilangai. Therefore, the study aimed to know the profile characteristics of CFLD beneficiary farmers and to encounter the major constraints faced by groundnut growers. To get an adequate sample size, 60 CFLD beneficiaries were selected randomly for the present study. The data were collected by using a pre-tested interview schedule. Garrett’s ranking technique and percentage analysis were used to analyze the data for meaning interpretation. The majority of beneficiaries belonged to middle age category (61.66%), majority of male beneficiaries (80.00%), educated upto middle school (40.00%), land holdings of 1 to 2 ha (68.33%) as small land, 20- 30 years of farming experience in oilseeds (80.00%), participated in one training (66.67%), medium level of extension agency contact (66.67%) and mass media exposure (56.67%), 55 per cent of farmers were adopted new practices after the successful adoption of other members. The major constraints include poor labour availability, poor transport facilities, lack of proper marketing channels and lack of technical knowledge. Hence, CFLD showed that medium to high level profile characteristics and improved adoption of new technologies.

维鲁布拉姆区花生种植户采用集群式一线示范面临的制约因素
印度是世界上最大的油籽生产国之一,在印度农业经济中占有重要地位。由于病虫害的侵袭,使用老的和传统的低产品种,花生种植的生产力目前正在下降。为了解决这些问题,集群模式的演示是必不可少的。集群一线示范(CFLD)是由学科专家(sms)和科学家在选定的农民田间系统地进行的,以推广新品种和花生生产技术。ICAR- KVK, tinindivanam在Nolambur和Kilmavilangai两个村庄组织了花生作物的cfld。因此,本研究旨在了解CFLD受益农户的剖面特征,并了解花生种植者面临的主要制约因素。为了获得足够的样本量,本研究随机选择60名CFLD受益人。数据是通过预先测试的面试时间表收集的。采用加勒特排序法和百分比分析法对数据进行分析,进行意义解释。大多数受益人属于中年人(61.66%),大多数受益人为男性(80.00%),受过中学以上教育(40.00%),拥有1至2公顷(68.33%)的小土地,20- 30年的油籽种植经验(80.00%),参加过一次培训(66.67%),中等水平的推广机构联系(66.67%)和大众媒体曝光(56.67%),55%的农民是在其他成员成功采用新做法后采用的。主要的限制因素包括劳动力不足、运输设施差、缺乏适当的销售渠道和缺乏技术知识。因此,CFLD显示出中高层次的轮廓特征,并改进了新技术的采用。
