Scientific Orientation and Attitude Towards on Integrated Pest Management Practices among Paddy Farmers in Kollidam Block of Nagapattinam District
Balamurugan V., M. Natarajan
Abstract: Paddy is an important food grain crop in India and is having a prime role in our agriculture. Green revaluation is associated not only with higher productivity through enhanced productivity, but also with several negative ecological and social consequences. serious problem has developed where indiscriminate use of pesticide in excess with consequent failure to produce expected yield resulted in economic loss. This paper may be concluded that highly significant difference was found for the variable scientific orientation, among trained and untrained farmers. Only those farmers with scientific orientation would have opted for training, which could be the possible reason for the significant difference between the trained and untrained farmers. The 't' test for attitude towards Integrated pest management exhibited a significant difference between trained and untrained farmers. The reason is quite clear that trained and untrained farmers on Integrated pest management would receive more scores under this variable, due to better exposure.
