Description During the year 2022-23, the Extension Department of RARS, Lam, Guntur conducted a study to analyse the extent adoption of recommended production technologies among Bengalgram farmers in Guntur district. A sample of one hundred Bengalgram farmers was surveyed. All surveyed farmers adhered to recommendations regarding varieties, soils, and harvesting practices. The survey revealed that 75.00 per cent of farmers adopted water management practices, while69.00 per cent and 63.00 per cent adopted weed and disease management practices, respectively. However, a significant majority of farmers were not adopting recommendations for fertilizer management (92.00%), seed rate (82.00%), seed treatment (78.00%), spacing (75.00%), sowing time (68.00%), and insect management (59.00%). Regarding constraints faced by Bengalgram farmers, a large majority reported issues such as untimely seed supply (83.00%), dry root rot/wilt incidence (71.00%), increased cost of cultivation and lower MSP (69.00%), lack of government procurement (65.00%), challenges in weed management (56.00%) and labor scarcity during weeding and harvesting (51.00%). Significant relationships between the adoption of recommended production technologies and factors such as education, extension contact and trainings undergone of the farmers were found. Land holding, farming experience, economic motivation, social participation and risk orientation of farmers did not exhibit a significant relationship with adoption of Bengalgram production technology.
