Keywords:
Adoption, Crop production, Trainee and Non-traineeAbstract
The goal of the study was to evaluate the current situation of mango orchardists in the Meerut district of Uttar Pradesh. To identify the challenges faced by mango orchardists and recommend appropriate improvements. The Meerut district consists of 12 community development blocks, of which two were specifically chosen based on the demand for and accessibility of mango orchardists. Based on the greatest possible area and output. With the assistance of progressive orchardists and the village Pradhan, 10 orchardists were randomly chosen from each of the selected villages, making a total sample size of 80 orchardists for the inquiry. The technologically gap in adoption of recommended technologies by mango orchardists upon various factors as well as constraints faced by them. Constraints refer to the item of difficulties faced by mango orchardists in actual adoption of mango production technology. It may be seen that altogether 10 constraints were faced by the mango orchardists in the adoption of mango production technology in the study area, the Lack of information about suitable inter crops. Unavailability of improved varieties in government nursery. Testing laboratory is not available.
