Problems Faced By Maize Growers of Udaipur District

The study was conducted in four villages of three Panchayat Samities of Udaipur district by personal interviewing 80 trained and 80 untrained maize growers. Ecological constraints were the major constraints perceived by the maize growers followed by post-harvest technology, plant protection measures, marketing problems, chemical control of weeds, soil treatment and fertilizer application, method of sowing, seed rate and time of sowing, seed treatment and improved seed. At overall level, constraints faced by the trained respondents were less as compared with untrained respondents. KVK., Udaipur should arrange training programmes to reduce the gap and other concerned agencies should also take action in this regard.
