The purpose of this study is to examine how Knowledge level augmented parameters impact on the effective adoption of information and communication technology (ICT) by onion farmers in Perambalur district of Tamil Nadu. Data were gathered from a focus group made up of 60 Farmers in Perambalur district. The paper finds that a willingness of indigenous ICT users is particularly influenced by the recognition and incorporation of visible social imperatives during the adoption process. Research limitations/implications – The outcome of this study highlights important issues for ICT adoption. One particular area that must be taken into consideration is the adoption channel. Perceptions of ICT adoption will differ significantly among adopters. For this reason, the need for developing an appropriate adoption channel that ensures successful diffusion of the innovation should be recognized. The paper also demonstrates that Knowledge Management System among farmers using ICT to yield more profit in onion Production form knowledge distributed by the experts. Hence the research work carried out to acquire, represent, and distribute the knowledge Management system to the Farming community.

The research, which was conducted in the village of Oepaha, Nekamese District, Kupang Regency, from June to July 2019, aims to identify marketing channels, capabilities and margins, and the share and benefits of celery marketing for farmers. The location of the research was determined using purposive sampling methods, considering that the location was the most important supplier area for celery in Kupang Regency. The population in this study was the farming community in Oepaha Village, Nekamese district, Kupang Regency,in the amount of 96 celery farmers. The sampling methods is carried out by simple random sampling according to the Slovenian formula, so that a sample of 49 celery farmers is obtained. Sampling for marketing institutions was determined by selecting the marketing institutions which directly involved in celery marketing using snowball sampling methods. In the end, respondents selected marketing institutes consisting of village collectors amounted to 4 people and retailers amounted to 4 people. The analysis of the data used in this study includes descriptive analysis, marketing margin analysis, farmer's share analysis and marketing profit analysis. The results showed that the marketing channel for celery carried out by farmers consisted of two channels, namely farmers directly to consumers and farmers to consumers through intermediaries, namely village collectors and retailers. Celery marketing functions that arise are the functions of sales, purchases, transport, standardization and financing and market information on the zero level channel,while sales, purchasing, transportation, storage, standardization, and financing, as well as market information, run on the second level channel. The marketing margin at zero level is Rp. 51.000,-, while the second level marketing channel is Rp. 17,000 at the collector and Rp. 34,000 at the retailer. The percentage of farmer’s share received by farmers is 25% at zero level and 25% at second level channel. The profit from celery marketing in the zero level marketing channel is Rp. 8.261 (farmers), the second level marketing channel is Rp. 16,688 (farmers), Rp. 15.267 (collectors' traders), Rp. 28,029 (retailers).

The area under sugarcane in Maharashtra state was found to be more stable and consistent rather than production and productivity. It may be due to the F & RP of sugarcane. In the year 1996, MPKV, Rahuri released a promising variety of sugarcane viz., Co-86032 which is very famous in farming community due to its hardiness, sugar recovery (percent) and resistance to the extreme rainfall as well as deficit rainfall. The total economic worthiness of university released sugarcane variety Co-86032(production technology) over other competing varieties of sugarcane in the Maharashtra was `51449.14per ha. The sugarcane growers in Maharashtra state earned net economic benefit of `11059.40 crores from improved sugarcane variety Co-86032. Therefore, it is suggested that the Government should allocate substantial funds to public research in sugarcane for productivity improvement.

AbstractLocal seed systems remain the fundamental source of seeds for many crops in developing countries. Climate resilience for small holder farmers continues to depend largely on locally available seeds of traditional crop varieties. High rainfall events can have as significant an impact on crop production as increased temperatures and drought. This article analyzes the dynamics of maize diversity over 3 years in a farming community of Yucatán state, Mexico, where elevated levels of precipitation forced farmers in 2012 to reduce maize diversity in their plots. We study how farmers maintained their agroecosystem resilience through seed networks, examining the drivers influencing maize diversity and seed provisioning in the year preceding and following the 2012 climatic disturbance (2011–2013). We found that, under these challenging circumstances, farmers focused their efforts on their most reliable landraces, disregarding hybrids. We show that farmers were able to recover and restore the diversity usually cultivated in the community in the year following the critical climate event. The maize dynamic assessed in this study demonstrates the importance of community level conservation of crop diversity. Understanding farmer management strategies of agrobiodiversity, especially during a challenging climatic period, is necessary to promote a more tailored response to climate change in traditional farming systems.

Background: Chickpea is an important legume crop that plays an important role in the food and nutritional security of people in the developing countries and contributing to protein intake. It is a soil building crop and being a leguminous crop, it fixes atmospheric nitrogen through symbiotic fixation, there by helps in N cycling within the ecosystem. Methods: Cluster front line demonstrations of chickpea were conducted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Kumher, Bharatpur (Rajasthan) during Rabi season from 2016-17 to 2019-20. A total 350 front line demonstrations were conducted on chickpea in 140 ha area by the active participation of the farmers with the objective of improved technologies of chickpea production potentials. Result: The results of the demonstrations observed that on an average yield of chickpea under improved technology ranged from 11.83 to 17.52 q/ha with a mean of 14.47 q/ha; which was 20.95 per cent more yield as compared to farmer’s practices (11.97 q/ha). Moreover, average yield was also recorded higher under demonstration (14.47 q/ha) over district (8.17 q/ha) and State (10.74 q/ha) average. The study exhibited mean extension gap of 250.75 Kg/ha, mean technology gap of 627.75 kg/ha with mean technology index of 29.71 per cent. Higher mean net return of Rs. 46618/ha with mean B: C ratio of 3.10 was obtained with improved technologies in comparison to farmers’ practices (Rs. 36737/ha). The present study resulted to convincing the farming community for higher productivity and returns.
