Abstract:

Green gram is an important pulse crop in our country after chickpea and pigeon pea, cultivated in three different seasons’ viz., kharif, rabi and summer. India is the largest producer of green gram that accounts for 54% of the world production and covers 65% of the world acreage and it is grown on about 3.70 million hectares with annual production of 1.57 million tonnes. Green gram is grown in the Dewas distric (M.P.). the study was conducted in Dewas district, where FLD was conducted by ATMA Dewas M.P. during 2015-16, six villages and 120 green gram growers had benefited by this programme. All the beneficiaries were selected purposively for the study. The knowledge and adoption level of farmers as the regular feedback is a necessary component of these demonstrations. In relation to adoption behaviour of green gram production technology among FLDs beneficiaries, it was found that majority of the beneficiaries possessed medium level of adoption behaviour followed by high level of adoption behaviour and low level of adoption behaviour.

Keywords:

adoption of green gram recommended production technology refers to the extent of adoption of recommended and improved green gram production techniques.
