Abstract:

Maize is the second-most significant crop in Assam, and it is mostly cultivated in rain-fed upland environments. It is currently being used more in some small enterprises due to the fast-growing demand for poultry feeds and fodder in Assam. Due to the lack of a suitable scale to measure the knowledge of maize farmers on the scientific practices of maize cultivation in Sonitpur district of Assam, it was necessary to construct a knowledge test for the purpose. Relevant areas that covered the major aspects of maize cultivation practices were included. After the experts opinion on the items, the difficulty index, discrimination index and biserial correlation were worked out. For administering the knowledge test, a respondent was given one mark for each correct answer and zero mark for each wrong answer.


Keywords: Maize, Assam, Knowledge test, Scientific practices, inadequate rainfall
