Abstract

Women farmers are engaged in both production and processing of turmeric. Majority of the women have been involved in decision-making process. During COVID–19 pandemic situation women were more affected than men by means of economical aspects. During COVID-19 pandemic situation, farm women’s decision making process has been changed hence the study “Analysis of Changes in Decision Making Behaviour of Turmeric Farm Women during COVID-19 Pandemic Situation†has been taken up. The study was conducted in Kodumudi block of Erode district. Based on proportionate random sampling method, six villages were selected with the sample of 120 farm women. From the result it was observed that before COVID-19, majority of the farm women had not been involved in decision making process like crop production, fertilizer application, pest management, disease management, Nematode management, harvesting and post harvest activities while during COVID-19 farm women took decision either with the family members or with the help of their spouse in turmeric farming. To overcome this situation there must be more number of training programmes conducted to the farm women in turmeric farming techniques which inturn help them to take right decision by their own.
