The studies were carried out in Nalgonda district of Telangana with 120 cotton farmers as respondents. Ex post facto research design was followed in the investigations. The respondents were selected at random from four villages of two Mandals of the district. Feasibility of selected best management practices was obtained using perceived feasibility index (PFI) taking into consideration seven attributes such as suitability, profitability, complexity, observability, compatibility, cost and trialability. Extent of adoption of each practice was made according to the three-point continuum. Correlation analysis between the overall level of perceived feasibility and overall extent of adoption of best management practices revealed that correlation was significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed). Among the nine selected best management practices irrigation, nutrient management, weed management, insect pest management, harvest and post-harvest management showed positively significant relationship with extent of adoption.
