Abstract
Cotton is grown chiefly for its fiber use in the manufacture of clothes and for the purpose like making threads for mixing in other fiber and extraction of oils from the cotton seeds. The present study was conducted in the purposely selected Bhilwara district of Rajasthan. There are total twelve tehsils in Bhilwara district of Rajasthan, out of which, two tehsil namely Mandalgarh and Asind have been selected on the basis of maximum area under cultivation of Bt cotton. Four villages selected from each tehsil were taken on the basis of maximum area under Bt cotton cultivation. The list so prepared, 5 marginal, 5 small and 5 large Bt growers were selected randomly from each identified village. Thus, in all 120 farmers (40 marginal, 40 small and 40 large farmers) were included in the sample of the study. The Study indicated that 43.33 per cent of the total respondents were in the medium level of adoption group, whereas 37.50 per cent respondents were in high adoption group and remaining 19.17 per cent Bt cotton growers were observed in the category of low level of adoption about Bt cotton production technology and there was significant difference among marginal, small and large farmers with respect to adoption of improved cotton production technology.
