Abstract

The present study was carried out the constraints faced by soyabean cultivators in Jhalwar district of Rajasthan. Two tehsils namely Khanpur and Pachphar of Jhalawar district were selected purposively for the study. A sample of 100 soyabean growers was selected. Primary data were collected for agriculture year 2022-23 for analysis the constraints related to soyabean cultivation in study area. Garrett’s ranking technique was used to analyse the constraints faced by soyabean cultivators. The major findings revealed that lack of knowledge about IPM training, lack of knowledge about recommended seed rate and lack of knowledge about chemical weed control were major technical constraints faced by soyabean farmers. Miscellaneous constraints like availability of inferior quality seed by the agencies, high cost of improved seed and unavailability of short duration varieties were faced by soyabean farmers. To sound the production of soyabean, there should be timely availability of good quality seed and HYV varieties seed in study area. Government agencies should provide superior quality seeds to the farmers and, to enhance the production, farmer should adopt scientific package of practices of soyabean cultivation.
