Abstract

The present study was undertaken to find out the adoption of improved production technology of pigeonpea. It was found that the majority of the famers adopted scientific recommendations about improved varieties, time of sowing, manual and chemical weed management were adopted, while seed treatment and plant protection measures were not adopted by majority of the farmers due to lack of knowledge, high cost involved in purchasing agro-chemicals, use of sprayers in standing long crop of control pod fly and food borers.
