Abstract

The goal of the current study was to determine the obstacles and recommendations for the 2022–2023(December-February) apple growers' training needs assessment in the Mandi region of Himachal Pradesh. 120 randomly chosen respondents who completed a pre-tested schedule provided the data. Descriptive research design was selected for the present study.  The proper statistical tools were used to tabulate, analyses, and interpret the acquired data. According to the study, the majority of respondents (50.83%) were middle-aged, and (34.17) farmers held a medium amount of land. Farmers perceived major constraints as unprecedented weather conditions, such as heavy rainfall, snowfall, hailstorms, etc., particularly at the critical stage of apple cultivation, as a very serious problem by a number of respondents, with the majority of respondents having medium level economic motivation and risk orientation.
