An expost facto study was conducted with the objective of analysing the knowledge and adoption levels of beneficiaries of the Special Foodgrains Production programme. The results revealed that 92.50 per cent of beneficiaries reported low yield gap in paddy production. Of the twenty one variables, sixteen showed significant and positive relationship towards extent of adoption. These variables significantly contributed to 68.11 per cent variation in their knowledge level and 50.05 per cent variation in their extent of adoption of rice technologies.
