Adoption level, Chickpea, Constraints, IPM PracticesAbstract
Chickpea production is highly influenced by insects and diseases infestations at different plant growth stages. These biotic stresses can be managed by practicing the components of IPM. The level of adoption for IPM technology in chickpea was studied during 2011-12 among 120 respondents through Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Ghazipur at five selected villages. It was found that 81.67% timely sowing whereas deep summer ploughing and destruction of stubbles were done by 15.00% of the respondents only and 10.83% respondents practicing disease and pest resistant varieties and none of them applying neem cake/ground nut cake for prevention of pest management. Mechanical practices for weed management were 18.33 per cent and only 4.17% respondents adopted bio-fungicide i.e. Trichoderma viride, T. harzianum as seed treatment without bioinsecticides application in chickpea. The unavailability of biopesticides and quality seeds, unaware of friendly insects and high cost of pesticides were significant constraints in adoption of IPM technology.
