ABSTRACT
The present research study was based on exploratory research design of social research. The field survey was carried out in Akola district of Vidarbha region of Maharashtra State for ascertaining the technological knowledge of the soybean growers about recommended technologies. The results revealed that over half (55.34%) of soybean growers had medium level of knowledge about improved cultivation practices recommended for soybean crop. Majority (72.00 %) of the soybean growers had low (39.33%) to medium (32.67%) level of productivity. In this context, it was implied that the information regarding recommended cultivation practices should be disseminated to the soybean growers by extension functionaries, KVK's, NGO's, through demonstrations, workshops, charchasatra, distributing printed material like leaflets; folders ; etc,. It will lend a hand for increasing knowledge, perception, adoption and ultimately the yield level of soybean crop.
