This paper examines farmers’ knowledge of improved turmeric cultivation practices and their relationship with personal profiles in the Udaipur district, Rajasthan. Known as the “Goldmine of India,” turmeric is widely cultivated there. The study encompassed 100 turmeric growers from the Jhadol and Gogunda panchayat samities, using a pre-structured interview schedule for data collection. The results indicated that 71 per cent of respondents possessed a medium level of knowledge regarding improved cultivation practices. Additionally, no significant difference was found between the two panchayat families regarding knowledge levels. The analysis further revealed a significant positive correlation between knowledge levels and factors such as age, landholding size, education level, and annual income.
