Abstract

The study was conducted in Bhilwara district, Rajasthan. In all,100 respondents (Black gram growers) selected for the study purpose. The maximum percentages of the respondents were found having medium level of adoption, which the respondents were distributed accordingly to the adoption categories viz. low, medium and high. Out of 9 improved agricultural practices of black gram production, adoption of soil and land preparation was ranked at first (77.12%) followed by irrigation management (67%) and harvesting (55.62%) ranked at second and third respectively. The medium to low adoption was found in practices viz. manure and fertilizer application (41.34%), sowing (31.81%), weed management (27.11%), intercropping (21.75%), improved variety (12.5%) and plant protection measures (11.44%). The overall adoption was found to be 38.41 per cent.
