The study has been conducted to find out socialization with respect to guava. A total of 200 farmers were selected from two villages of Nadia district of West Bengal, 100 farmers from each of the villages. It has been found that variables per capita expenditure on education and savings/person/year have contributed substantial percentile, which account for 23.54 per cent and 18.76 per cent respectively on socialization of enterprise (guava). And it has also been found after doing the step down multiple regression of data revealed that the variables viz. per capita expenditure on education, per capita expenditure on agriculture, knowledge about fungicides and attitude towards rejection have been retained after eliminating the trivial variables in the preceding steps. So, these variables together have explained 16.52 per cent of the total R2 values of 24.72 per cent i.e. the recombination of these variables have explained almost 66.82 per cent of the total explicable variance.
