Alexso Ngadong, and J. Longkumer

Abstract

Study entitled ‘Knowledge and Adoption level of Large Cardamom Cultivators of Anjaw District, Arunachal<br />Pradesh’ was carried out to study the knowledge and adoption level of large cardamom cultivators. A structured<br />interview schedule was developed to complete the study and 120 large cardamom cultivators were taken from 8<br />villages of two selected blocks of the district purposively. The overall knowledge index of the respondents was<br />40.98 per cent and the overall adoption index of the respondents was 25.68 per cent. It can be concluded that<br />knowledge and adoption level of the respondents was low in the study area. There is an urgent need to intensify the<br />extension service for bringing about best management practices so that maximum benefit can be accrued. It is also<br />recommended that growers association and certified sapling nurseries may be established.
