Abstract:
The research was conducted in the Jashpur district of Chhattisgarh state during the years 2021- 2022. Within Jashpur district's eight blocks, two were purposefully chosen due to their significant Niger crop cultivation compared to others. A total of 140 farmers were selected for the study, and data were collected through personal interviews. These data were subsequently analyzed using statistical tools to provide meaningful information. The main findings are that knowledge is strongly linked to land holding, annual income, and productivity at a high level of significance (0.01%). Occupation and farming experience also have a positive but slightly less significant relationship with knowledge (0.05%). Similarly, adoption is highly significantly associated with land holding, annual income, productivity, and extension contact (0.01%), while education, occupation, and farming experience show positive but somewhat less significant connections with adoption (0.05%).
