M.S.Nain & G.R. Bhagat

Abstract

The availability of fresh vegetables in cold arid zone during peak winter is a day dream. The assessment of the impact of trainings on area specific technology offering vegetables availability round the year clamoured the attention. The findings of the study revealed that the technology had been adopted moderately and the knowledge of the trained farm women was significantly higher than that of untrained farm women. However, non availability of quality inputs like plant protection chemicals, seeds, fertilizers, local political taboo are some of the reasons for low adoption of the technology. The technology having vast scope need to be diffused up to last corner of the district and in addition the practicing farm women need to be supported with required material and technical guidance from time to time.
