Abstract
The study was conducted in 20 purposively selected villages of four blocks of Raigarh district of Chhattisgarh state. A total of 160 respondents were randomly selected from the selected villages to assess the extent of adoption of recommended groundnut production technology by the groundnut growers. The findings revealed that majority of the groundnut growers were medium adoption category (61.88%). In case of practice wise level of adoption, majority of the groundnut growers had high level of adoption regarding time of sowing (75.00%), seed rate (68.12%) and harvesting (66.25%), whereas medium level of adoption the practices were preparation of land (76.25%), spacing (62.50%) and use of fertilizer (61.88%) and regarding low level of adoption the practices were earthing up (68.12%) and intercropping (62.50%). Among the selected independents variables, six variables i.e. education, land holding, annual income, contact with extension agencies, sources of information and knowledge towards groundnut production technology had positive and highly significantly correlated with the extent of adoption of recommended groundnut production technology. In case of regression analysis of selected independent variables only one variable knowledge towards groundnut production technology showed highly significant and positive contribution towards adoption at 0.01 per cent level of significance.
