The study was conducted in Junagadh district of Gujarat State. Total 128 beneficiary farmers (BFs) and 128 non-beneficiary farmers (NBFs) were selected as respondents. The level of knowledge and extent of adoption of respondents were measured using the developed standardized scales. Majority of the BFs (70.31 per cent) and NBFs (68.75 per cent ) had medium level of knowledge about Improved Mango Production Technology (IMPT) with mean knowledge score 28.51 and 19.23, respectively. The practices like varieties, chemical fertilizers, planting distance, irrigation, disease control, tillage, organic manure, insect-pest control, use of hormones were adopted more than 60.00 per cent by BFs.
