Production Technologies of Red Gram (Cajanus cajan L) Adopted by Farmers of Karimnagar District of Telangana

In order to study the adoption of production technologies of red gram by the KVKs adopted versus non-adopted farmers, a questionnaire was developed consisting of 21 technologies measured on 3 point continuum i.e. fully adopted, partially adopted and non adopted with the scores of 3, 2, 1, respectively. It was observed that, majority (40.0%) of the KVK adopted red gram farmers had medium extent of adoption followed by high (36.67%) and low (23.33%) whereas, majority (43.33%) of the KVK non-adopted farmers had medium extent of adoption followed by low (40.00%) and high (16.67%). Further, calculated ‘Z'Value (2.25) was greater than table ‘Z’ value at 0.01 level of probability. Therefore, the null hypothesis was rejected and hence it could be concluded that there exists a significant difference between mean scores of KVK adopted and non adopted farmers.
