In India, wheat is the most popular and important rabi crop grown under diverse agro-climatic conditions and occupies about 24.23 million hectare area, with 72.06 million tones production and 2–9 tons per hectare productivity (The Hindu survey of Indian agriculture, 2008). Bihar accounts for 2.3 million hectare areas with 4.7 million tones production and 2.1 tons per hectare productivity, which is much lower than the North-western wheat growing states which have been of country. However, there is ample potentiality for increasing wheat yield in this state proved from results of national demonstration conducted on farmer's field. With the shrinking land resources in present scenario, it become more essential to raise up the vertical productivity because there is very little scope for increasing horizontal productivity. The scientific study of technology transfer system is essential for making the future programs more effective keeping this in view the present study has been under taken with the following specific objectives (1) To analyze the Communication Character of farmers and extent of technological gap in adoption of wheat production technology. The study was conducted in the state of Bihar in order to measure the extent of technological gap in adoption of wheat production technology structured schedule was developed.
