ABSTRACT
The present study was conducted in Udaipur district of Rajasthan. There are total eleven tehsils in Udaipur district, out of which two tehsils namely, Jhadol and Gogunda were selected on the basis of maximum area under ginger cultivation. Five villages from each identified tehsil and 100 ginger growers were randomly selected from identified villages (10 from each village) for data collection. The study revealed that 57.00 per cent respondents fell in medium level, 16.00 per cent under high level adoption group and remaining (27.00%) respondents possessed low level of adoption about improved ginger production technology. Further it was found that farmers had adequate adoption regarding recommended time of sowing, harvesting at proper time, irrigation management practices and recommended seed rate, where as they had less adoption regarding seed treatment, scientific curing process, use of high yielding varieties, and insecticides.
