Abstract:
The present study was conducted to assess the varietal pattern followed by the vegetable growers of Sub-tropical Jammu region. Three districts namely Jammu, Samba and Kathua were selected for present study. The results revealed that none of the vegetable farmer in selected villages of Jammu district adopted university recommended varieties namely, Pusa Katki, Pusa Deepali, Gaint Snow Ball, Pusa Synthetic, Snow Ball-16 and Pusa Snow Ball K-1. Whereas, 14.3 per cent the farmers of Samba and Kathua districts were using Snowball-16 variety. Thus, it is suggested that the extension agencies have to play their role in guiding the farmers about the recommended package of practice. Thus, it is strongly recommended that more number of awareness camps should be organized in those areas where farmers are growing vegetables to acquaint them with latest know how.
