One third (33.33%) of the respondents educated up to graduation and 35.00 per cent of the respondents had medium operational land holding (35.00%). More than half (50.83%) of respondents had medium level of extension contacts and 40.00 per cent had medium level of mass media exposure. More than half (55.00%) of respondents belonged to medium knowledge level category followed by high knowledge level category (29.17%) and low knowledge level category (15.83%).
