Abstract

The study was conducted to know the knowledge level of 120 farmers belonging to six villages from two blocks of Patiala about selected water saving technologies. Data were collected by personal interview method. Findings of the study revealed that most of the respondents were in the age group of 41-52 years, educated up to matric and had medium operational landholding (10-25 acres). All of the respondents were following paddy-wheat rotation and almost all were having tractors of their own. Majority of the respondents had medium (52.50%) knowledge level about the direct seeding of rice. Similar was the case of zero tillage of wheat and laser land levelling where majority (57.50 and 55.0% respectively) of the respondents had medium knowledge. It was also found that overall knowledge level of the respondents about the water saving technologies was medium.
