ABSTRACT:
The study titled “Effectiveness of planned teaching about knowledge regarding ill health effects of chemical ripening of fruits and vegetables among farmers in selected rural area” was conducted with the objectives to assess the existing knowledge regarding ill health effects of chemical ripening of fruits and vegetables among farmers, to evaluate the effectiveness of planned teaching programme regarding ill health effects of chemical ripening of fruits and vegetables among farmers. A pre experimental and descriptive evaluatory research approach was used with one group pre-test post-test design to evaluate the effectiveness of planned teaching. The tool used for data collection was a structured questionnaire which comprised 4 items in demographic data and 30 items on ill health effects of chemical ripening of fruits and vegetables. The reliability of tool was established by Spilt Half method. The pre-test was administered to 60 farmers followed by the planned teaching, After 7 (seven) days, post-test was conducted to the subject using the same tool. Regarding the existing knowledge of the farmers, there was a lack of knowledge in all aspects of ill health effects of chemical ripening of fruits and vegetables. The overall mean percentage of post-test knowledge scores of the farmers 65.66% was apparently higher than the overall mean percentage of pre-test knowledge score 35.55% and was significant at 0.1% level. Paired t?= 35.91, p<0.05. In pretest, 8.33% of them had poor and 91.67% had average level of knowledge score. The major findings revealed that planned teaching enhanced the knowledge of the farmers about ill health effects of chemical ripening of fruits and vegetables.
