The extent of information needs of groundnut growers was availed on a three-point continuum rating. Results of the study revealed that majority of the groundnut growers (68.33 per cent) were fall under medium group of information needs about groundnut production technology. While area specific information needs of groundnut growers were, information need about variety and seeds: Suitable high yielding variety for the area (ranked first), land preparation and sowing: soil treatment inputs (ranked first), fertilizer management : Price of fertilizer (ranked first), weed management and inter culturing: Chemical weed control (ranked first), water management : Method of irrigation (ranked first), Plant protection measure : Identification, nature of damage and control measures for insects/pests of groundnut (ranked first), post harvest technology: care after harvesting groundnut(ranked first), Marketing : Market price and in supportive facts: subsidies for groundnut cultivation (ranked first).
