The present study was undertaken to investigate the constraints perceived by wheat growers in adoption of scientific wheat technologies in Sitapur district of Uttar Pradesh. Twenty five respondents were selected randomly from each of the selected four villages. Thus, a total of 100 respondents who were practicing wheat cultivation were interviewed by using pre tested interview schedule. The constraints were classified into four major categories such as technological, administrative, and financial and resource. Each category of constraints was further bifurcated into several sub heads and rank analysis was done based on the frequency. Unawareness about seed treatment, lack of technical know how of the agricultural staff, problem of marketing, non availability of pesticides and equipments were perceived as the major constraints encountered by the wheat growers of Sitapur district.
