Abstract

Taramira is a commercial crop widely grown in Rajasthan. The present study was conducted purposely in the selected Jaipur district of Rajasthan. There is a total of sixteen tehsils in the Jaipur district, out of which, two tehsils namely Maujamabad and Chomu have been selected purposively based on maximum area and Production of Taramira. Further, a comprehensive list of all the Taramira growing villages was prepared with the help of revenue patwari and agriculture personnel from the selected tehsils. Six villages from each selected tehsil were taken based on the maximum area under Taramira cultivation. Thus, a total of twelve villages were selected for the present investigation. 10 farmers were selected from each selected village based on a random sampling technique. An application of Artificial Neural Network has been carried out for farmers’ perspectives about constraints in the adoption of recommended practices of Taramira. Thus, a total of 120 farmers were selected for the present study. The study reveals that the majority of respondents i.e., 63.33 per cent (76) of the total respondents were in the medium constraints group.
