The present study was conducted with specific objectives to study Knowledge and adoption of sugarcane production technology. For this study, from Latur district two talukas viz. Chakur and Udgir were selected. From these two talukas twelve villages were selected randomly and ten respondents from each villages were selected, i.e. 120 respondents from 12 villages constituted the sample for the study.
