Knowledge and Attitude of Farmers towards Vermicompost Technology

A study was conducted with 150 randomly selected farmers in Barmer Panchayat Samiti area of Barmer district. The study revealed that the majority of the farmers (84%) were having moderate level of knowledge and favourable attitude about advantages of vermicompost technology. The major constraints noticed were the non availability of worms in nearby market, lack of knowledge about preparation of vermicompost and high temperature during summer season. Removing these constraints need organized efforts from all the stakeholder's namely farmers, government (local administration and research institution) and non government organizations.
