Stat. & Computer Applications, RCA, MPUAT, Udaipur Abstract Vermiculture technology is a powerful means to blend the inorganic sources of nutrients with the biological renewal sources for achieving balanced biological activities so as to improve and maintain the physical chemical and biological properties of soil. As a biofertilizer it has tremendous potential to wrest the present day agriculture out of food and nutrition crisis. This technology is just taking roots in India. Present paper attempts to explore the knowledge and adoption of vermiculture technology among rural women and the problems faced by them in its adoption. It was observed that rural women had good knowledge and vermiculture technology was adopted to a medium extent. The main problems faced by women were lack of technical guidance and process being complicated and costly which needs to be overcome for wider adoption of the technology. Top |
