Abstract

The study was conducted to investigate the adoption status of flower cultivation practices by farmers in Punjab. Marigold and gladiolus flower crops prominently grown in Punjab were selected purposively. Forty farmers for each crop were selected randomly. Thus a total of eighty farmers were selected for this study. Data were collected by personally visiting the study area and interviewing the farmers. Findings of the study revealed that 55 per cent of the marigold and 60 per cent of gladiolus growers had medium level of overall adoption.
