Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The study was undertaken to know the level of adoption of improved management technologies and profitability of Kazi peyara production in Natore and Gazipur districts. Results revealed that different agronomic practices and use of inputs were found lower than the recommendation. Adoption level of improved technology of Kazi peyara was found medium. The production of Kazi peyara was found to be very remunerative to the farmers in the study areas. Benefit cost ratios were found 4.77 and 4.53 in Natore and Gazipur districts respectively. Severe attack of die-back/wilt was identified as a major constraint to Kazi peyara production.

Keywords: Kazi peyara, Production, Adoption

Location: Natore and Gazipur districts

Start Date: 00-00-2000

End Date: 00-00-2001

Program Area: Knowledge Management

Commodity: Guava

Objectives:

i. To study the socio-economic characteristics of the guava farmers

ii. To find the management practices of Kazi peyara cultivation

iii. To determine the economic performance of Kazi peyara production

iv. To see the adoption level of improved technology of kazi peyara

v. To identify the constraints to its higher production.

Methodology:

The study was carried out in Natore and Gazipur districts. The study areas were selected purposively because of the availability of kazi peyara cultivation. The lists of farmers were collected from the respective study areas with the help of Upazila Agriculture Officer, Upazila Extension Officer and Block Supervisor under the department of Agriculture Extension (DAE). A total of 40 farmers were selected from the list randomly for interview taking 20 from each area. The sampled farmers were interviewed with the help of pre-designed and pre-tested interview schedules during 2000-2001. The collected data were summarized and analyzed through tabular methods using averages, percentages, ratios, etc. Data were collected from the staring year to ending year of Kazi peyara garden i.e., whole life span of Kazi peyara cultivation. Data were analyzed by individual year, but 7th to 9th year data were analyzed together.

Achievement/Findings:

Farmers in the study areas started Kazi peyara cultivation at the beginning of the transfer of technology i.e., since1986. The present farm size under Kazi peyara cultivation was found lower than the beginning stage of Kazi peyara cultivation. The farmers did not follow the agronomic practices as per recommendation. They used less doses of manure’s and fertilizers than that of recommendation. Kazi peyara cultivation was found very profitable to the farmers. Benefit cost ratio varied from 4.53 to 4.77. Adoption level of improved technology of Kazi peyara was found medium. Seventy two percent of farmers opined to keep same piece of land and 8 percent of farmers wanted to increase their land for further Kazi peyara production due to its higher return compared to other varieties. A number of farmers (20%) intended to decrease Kazi peyara area due to its high mortality. Severe attack of die-back/ wilt was found main problem for its production. For the reason, the farmers are not getting potential yields for the crop.
