Abstract
Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK) being an educational institution of the farmers, organized two institutional training programmes on integrated crop management in moong bean and provided information to 48 farmers of 6 adopted villages of 3 blocks of district Sikar. It was found that after receiving training on moong bean cultivation, the knowledge level of trainees were significantly increased from 8.33 to18.92 per cent in different practices. The maximum change in knowledge level was recorded in use of high yielding varieties (14.24%) and 13.54 per cent in seed treatment which show positive impact of trainings. While after imparting the training there was a large knowledge gap was recorded among trainees in practice like plant protection measures (48.40%), seed treatment (40.97%), fertilizer management (40.77%), weed management (40.28%) and 36.98 per cent gap about use of high yielding varieties were remained stable. This large knowledge gap may due to high cost, complexity and some other constraints responsible for non-adoption of new practices. Thus, it was finally concluded that the imparting of trainings is an important tool for enhancing the awareness, knowledge level and motivate the farmers for adoption of new package of practices of different crops.
