Abstract

Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is an ancient cereal grain, which upon domestication has evolved from largely a food grain to a feed and malting grain. The present study was conducted in Jaipur by selecting a total sample of 102 barley growers. The personal profile and knowledge level of farmers was measured through an interview schedule prepared in consultation with the experts. The study concluded that majority of beneficiary (66.67%) and non-beneficiary (74.51%) had medium adoption about improved barley production technology. Both type of respondents (beneficiary and non-beneficiary) possessed maximum adoption regarding use of high yielding varieties of barley crop.
