Cabbage is one of the most popular vegetables in the world because of its adaptability to a wide range of climatic conditions and soil type, ease of production and storage, and its food value. Commercial cultivation of Cabbage is very successful due to high market demand and its medicinal importance to treat gout, deafness, headache and hangovers in the early days. The present study aimed to assess the Knowledge level of cabbage growers towards the recommended package of practices in Budgam District of Jammu and Kashmir, India during the year 2017-18. Ex- post- facto research design was adopted. The study was carried out in purposively selected Zone Chadoora of district Budgam of Jammu and Kashmir State, as having maximum area under cabbage crop. A sample of 120 cabbage growers was selected by proportionate allocation method from randomly selected six villages. The data was collected with the help of a well structured interview schedule. Data derived from the growers was analyzed by employing suitable statistical methods. Twelve independent variables were categorized and studied in relation to dependent variable i.e. knowledge   level about cabbage cultivation practices. Majority of the growers had medium knowledge level regarding the recommended package of practices for cabbage cultivation given by SKUAST-Kashmir. Correlation analysis revealed that education, occupation, operational land holding, area under cabbage, experience in cabbage cultivation, net income, mass media exposure and scientific orientation  had significant relationship with the knowledge level of cabbage growers whereas the remaining independent variables starting with age had a negative and significant relationship with the knowledge whereas, family size, innovation proneness and extension contact had no significant relationship with the knowledge level of cabbage growers. The identified gaps in farmers practices and recommended cultivation practices may help to give directions to the field level extension workers to manipulate the appropriate factors so as to increase the adoption level. The results of the study will be useful to extension personnel and administrators so that they could know the extent of knowledge and adoption behaviour of cabbage growers. The results could also be used to bridge the gap through intensive training and organizing of other extension activities.

Farmer’S Perception

The present paper aimed to explore the farmer's perception regarding on-farm water conservation in Punjab agriculture and outline the critical factors affecting the knowledge and adoption of on-farm water conservation techniques. The study was conducted in Moga, Rupnagar and Sri Muktsar Sahib districts selected randomly representing three agro-climatic zones of Punjab. The study revealed that most of the respondents were literate with farming experience of more than 15 years. The regression analysis applied on the knowledge index, and adoption index concluded that by enhancing the education level, mass media exposure, extension contacts, participation in extension activities, and farming experience, the knowledge level regarding the new technologies may improve, resulted in the effective adoption of that particular technology. It will also help to reduce future constraints in the adoption of the technologies and for increasing the income level of the farmers by decreasing the cost of production.

Seasonal Climate

The appropriate use of seasonal climate information in agricultural management requires systematic analysis of decision makers' (farmers') characteristics, needs and perceptions. An attempt has been made to characterize the decision-making approach and factors affecting them amongst 240 selected crop farmers in southern India (Coimbatore region). Farmers' perceptions about the importance of farm decisions in relation to seasonal climate information and their knowledge level were also analysed. About 39% of the farmers made decisions ‘alone’, indicating monopolization of decisions by one decision maker. However, other decision-making approaches, including the participation of family members (31.7%) and other farmers (14.6%), are still very common. Factor analysis indicated that those farmers with higher education and greater occupational status tended to decide themselves. More than 70% of the farmers perceived that the strategic decisions made before the start of the rainy season were more important than in-season tactical decisions. Decisions on sowing season and selection of crops and varieties are most important and will have considerable weight with associated seasonal climate information. However, the knowledge levels of farmers on those decisions were ‘poor’. The factor analysis grouped all the farmers (n = 240) into two dimensions representing ‘poor’ or ‘moderate’ levels of knowledge on decision making. Knowledge level was directly related to innovativeness (r = 0.373), which could be improved through enhancing change-agency contact and extension participation. Therefore, it is important to design ‘climate educational programmes’ based on the decision-making approaches, farmers' requirements (relevance of decisions) and their knowledge level on decision making using climate information.

Livestock rearing is one of the major occupations of Chanthang region India and is making significant contribution to the Ladakh’s socioeconomic development.Important role of alfalfa in development of animal husbandry is based on high potential for production of biomass. The study was conducted in eastern Ladakh (India) during 2015-19, due to deficit and scarcity of fodder crops in the region. First part of the study deals with the agronomic and management techniques adopted for cultivation of alfalfa. Second part deals with the adoption and knowledge level of farmers, which was calculated using a questionnaire. Randomly ten villages were selected from eastern Ladakh, in each village, 10 respondents were randomly selected. The study aimed to assess the adoption and knowledge level of alfalfa growers in alfalfa production. Information was obtained with the help of questionnairemethod. The data were analyzed, tabulated and the results were drawn with the help of descriptive statistical methods. The finding of the study revealed that the overall level of Adoption and knowledge of alfalfa production technology was medium. Majority of the farmers (67%) had medium level of knowledge and adoption (60%) of scientific alfalfa cultivation practices. More number of large farmers had high level of knowledge and adoption as compared to medium and small farmers. More awareness programmes should be organized to increase level of knowledge and adoption of cultivation practices to sustain alfalfa production in eastern Ladakh.
