The findings of the study that maximum numbers (46%) of kinnow growers have medium level of adoption of kinnow production technologies. Kinnow farmers adopted recommended practices of planting time, manure and fertilizers application, source and interval of irrigation water, intercultural operations while they have partial adoption in plant protection measures and harvesting practices.
