Description The present investigation entitled Adoption level of package of practices of kinnow orchards
of Haryana , was carried out in the blocks of Hisar, Sirsa and Fatehabad districts during the year 2010-
11. A total number of 20 farmers were selected for purpose of investigation. An interview schedule was
developed on the basis of recommended package of practices for kinnow production. The adoption
score of the farmers ranged from 11 to 32 out of maximum score of 40. The mean adoption score was
moderate (21.65). The adoption level of time of planting, planting distance, land preparation and
training and pruning practices was comparatively high. Important practices like drip irrigation (40%),
plant protection measures (45%), weed control (45%) and intercropping (45%) had very low adoption
level. The maximum adoption gap was observed in planting of wind break , post harvest treatment and
fruit packaging. The fruit yield and quality were maximum with higher adoption levels . The nutrient
status in soil had positive but non significant effect with adoption of package of practices whereas in
plant, the nutrient status was significant with adoption level. With higher adoption level of package of
practices, the farmers were able to get maximum gross income, benefit and benefit cost ratio. The most
serious constraint hampering the kinnow production was citrus decline.
