Abstract
ABSTRACT Arecanut (Areca catechu) is one of the important cash crops grown in India.

The study was conducted with 120 arecanut growers. The results revealed that only 15.83 per cent of respondents were adopted recommended varieties and rest of the respondents were adopted the local variety due to good nut size, suitability to climatic conditions, trader’s preferability and long life of palms.
