Technological gap in adoption of recommended wheat production practices in Jaunsar-Bhawar tribal farming system of Uttar Pradesh.

The average technological gap in adoption of recommended wheat production practices by the tribal farmers in Jaunsar-Bhawar, Uttar Pradesh, India, was 83% for the six major components [n=180, year not given]. The highest technological gap was in plant protection measures followed by manure and fertilizers and irrigation management, while the smallest gap was observed for varietal recommendations in valleys and harvesting and post harvesting operations in mid and high-hill situations. The high technological gap was mainly due to the very small size of land holdings, inadequate agricultural production infrastructure, inefficient agricultural development and extension network. The typical socio-cultural traditions and strong religious beliefs constrained the tribal community in adopting modern farm production technology. It is suggested that the extent of the gap can be reduced by increasing education, investment, irrigation and raising awareness about technology.
