ABSTRACT

The present study was undertaken to examine the level of technology adoption and yield gap in red gram production in Gulbarga district of Karnataka. Primary data were collected from selected sample respondents (36 small, 15 medium and 9 large) while data related to research station yield obtained from Agricultural Research Station, Gulbarga. In order to measure the level of technology adoption, the technology adoption index was used, while for yield gap analysis the difference between potential farm yield and actual farm yield was taken into account. The results indicated that out of the selected 60 farmers around 90% were observed under the category of medium to high level of technology adopters and technology adoption index was highest on large farms followed by medium and small farms. The total yield gaps as per cent to average research station yield were 38.67, 39.42 and 40.38 per cent on small, medium and large farms respectively. Thus, there is ample scope to raise the productivity of red gram in the study area.
