Abstract:

Training is systematic planned activities that help develop the competence of farmers. Farmers’ training plays an important role in adoption of new agricultural practices and technologies. The present study infer the training undergone by tomato growers in the district Solan of Himachal Pradesh. For the study 80 tomato growers were personally interviewed through a pre-tested interview schedule. It was found that training programme’s knowledge/skill like package of practices of tomato, high yielding and resistant varieties of seeds and diseases and pest control were the most adopted trainings by tomato growers in the study area till date. The result also shows the gap between training’s skills imparted and adopted by tomato growers. Therefore, it was suggested that the active engagement of extension personnel in intensive guidance, post-training measurement, and follow-up of training plays an important role in the continued adoption of the practices by the farmers. The study helped in the assessment of the training programmes and provide a base for careful planning to enhance the training outcomes.
