The study was undertaken to determine the sources of agricultural information utilized by vegetable growers of Morar block of Gwalior district in Madhya Pradesh. Simple analytical tools such as percentages, frequency and tabulation were used for analyzing the data collected. The analyses revealed that most (57.50%) of vegetable growers preferred extension agents as their source of information while the least (5.00%) source was libraries. The major constraint indicated by vegetable growers in sourcing information was financial problem. It was recommended that credit facilities and subsidies or incentives be provided to farmers to purchase radio receivers to enhance information sourcing. Also more extension agents be recruited and properly trained as they are main information source used by vegetable growers. Also, in planning any agricultural information dissemination programme, suggestions by vegetable growers should be taken into consideration.
