Keeping in view the economic importance of lavender cultivation, the present study was conducted to develop a test for measuring the knowledge of farmers about different production recommendations of lavender crop. A preliminary test of sixteen knowledge items was initially administered to 36 lavender farmers for item analysis. Finally eight knowledge items were selected based on difficulty index (10 to 90) and discrimination index (0.10 to 0.90). The reliability of the test was measured with the help of split-half method and the reliability was found to be 0.99, which indicates that the test is reliable.
