Abstract


Mango is an important fruit crop grown in larger area in India. Though India has rich heritage of origin and blessed with abundant varieties in mango, it could not compete global productivity. It is widely stated that there is neglect in adoption of improved practices which results in lower productivity. A study on knowledge and adoption behaviour of mango growers revealed that majority of mango growers had medium to low level of knowledge and adoption. Majority had medium knowledge about pest and disease management, varieties, growth regulator and manure and adopted the same. Majority had less knowledge about alternate bearing management, pruning, spacing and post-harvest management. The adoption was less for the above recommended practices.
