PRASAD Department of Extension Education, S.V. Agricultural college, Tirupati-517502 Date of Receipt : 26.09.2012 Date of Acceptance : 11.01.2013 Sugarcane is the world’s largest crop and is grown in over 110 countries. In 2009, an estimated 1,683 million metric tons were produced worldwide which amounts to 22.4% of the total world agricultural production by weight (FAO, 2009). India ranks second in cane area and sugar production after Brazil. The states of Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Naidu and Andhra Pradesh together produce nearly 90 per cent of the cane and sugar in the country. Andhra Pradesh ranks fifth in sugar cone area of the country with a share of 4.83 per cent. The average production of Andhra Pradesh is about 20.30 million tons contributing to 5.83 per cent of the total production of the country. In Andhra Pradesh, the major sugarcane growing districts in Telangana, coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema regions are Nizamabad, Visakhapatnam and Chittoor districts respectively. The significant contribution of researchers, extension functionaries and farming community plays pivotal role in achieving the above success. On one side, the researchers developed sustainable technologies to meet the production requirements of the farmers followed by effective dissemination of technologies by the extension functionaries so as to bring the technologies to the farmers for adoption. On the other side, the farming community is successfully adopting those technologies so as to increase the productivity levels of sugarcane. As the farmers are the key contributors of production, the present study was taken up to study the profile characteristics of sugarcane farmers. Ex-post-facto research design was adopted for the study. The investigation was carried out in Chittoor district of Rayalaseema region. Four mandals were selected in Chittoor district purposively that have highest area under sugarcane. From each mandal 3 villages were selected purposively. From each village 10 sugarcane farmers were selected randomly thus making a total of 120 respondents . The data were collected by personal interview method through structured interview schedule. The sugarcane farmers were distributed into different categories based on their selected profile characteristics and were presented in the Table 1 and interpreted through frequencies, percentages, mean and standard deviation. Age Majority (57.50%) of the sugarcane farmers belonged to middle age category followed by young (31.66%) and old age (10.83%) categories. The probable reason for distribution might be that the agriculture in the present situation has been perceived as a profitable enterprise in particular as sugarcane is one of the remunerative crops for the farmers. Middle age and young age farmers were motivated to cultivate sugarcane by adopting latest production technologies and obtaining good returns.. Hence the above trend was observed. It is in conformity with Reddy (1997) and Gowda et al., (2011). Education Majority (90.00%) of the respondents were educated, 4.17 per cent were under can read and write only category and only 5.00 per cent were illiterates. The probable reason for the above distribution might be that, as education was gaining importance for the past three decades and brought out awareness among the farming community about the functional literacy. Majority of the sugarcane farmers were under middle and young age lead to the proper educational status among the farming community. It is in conformity with Latha (2002) and Gowda (2011). email: shilpamohan5050@gmail.com 101
