Abstract
Study was conducted to find out the technology utilization pattern of pulses production in Madurai district of Tamil Nadu with the objective of analyzing the knowledge and adoption level of recommended TNAU technologies by the farmers for pulse production. For the study 150 pulse growers covering nine villages of three blocks were randomly selected. The research findings indicated that majority of the pulse growers were aware of varieties of blackgram(CO6, VBN4 and VBN6), greengram[CO6, CO8, VBN(GG)3], red gram[CO(RG)7, VBN 1 and VBN2]and the scientific technologies recommended by TNAU. Due to non-availability of timely inputs and lack of precise knowledge on critical technologies such as seed treatment, mitigation of moisture, enhancement of flowering and foliar sprays etc and marketing problems they were unable to get good remuneration. Hence policies such as developing extension methodologies for intensive pulse production, strengthening input delivery mechanism, formation of pulse growers association, empowering women on value addition of pulses are recommended.
