Abstract:

Agriculture is the backbone of India’s economic activity and our experience during the last 50 years has demonstrated the strong correlation between agricultural growth and economic prosperity. Due to advent of hybrid technology and general awareness of nutritional security among the people, vegetable production is getting the right momentum. The study was conducted in two blocks of Doda district of J&K namely, Assam and Bhaderwah. Three villages from each block were selected purposively. Twenty vegetable growers from each village were selected by random sampling technique and thus forming a total sample of 120 respondents. The result showed that the farmers from Assam were a bit more advanced than Bhaderwah block both in terms of knowledge level and adoption of improved practise of tomato and capsicum.
