Abstract:
India, being a tropical country, has several advantages in floriculture production. In Uttar Pradesh, the importance of floriculture is vast, and it is profitable in nearby cities due to higher demand increasing day by day. This research study was conducted in the Kannauj district of the western plain zone during the years 2017–18. Among the eight blocks of Kannauj district, one block was selected, and the selected block of Kannauj had the maximum area under the rose. Hence, Kannauj Block of Kannauj District was purposefully selected for the study area. In Kannauj Block, four villages were selected; from each selected village, 15 respondents were selected by cluster random sampling, resulting in a total sample size of 60 respondents. A cluster random sampling schedule was developed and used to collect the information from rose growers. The finding revealed that a maximum number of the respondents were in the middle age group, and the maximum number of respondents belonged to the Other Backward Caste, followed by the Scheduled Caste. The majority of respondents were found to be literate.
