Abstract
Mango occupies a prominent place among the fruits grown in India because of its great utility, and is acknowledged as the king of tropical fruits. Mango offers good scope for commercial marketing. Various types of processed products prepared from mango are pickles, chutneys, squash and mango pulp. It is an outstanding source of Vitamin A and C. To meet the needs of increasing population, Production targets have to go up. It would be possible only by adopting the improved technologies in mango cultivation. Increased productivity is greatly dependent on available technology and extent of adoption by the farmers. Information on the adoption of modern recommended mango cultivation techniques help us to identify the gaps and enable the extension scientists and policy makers to devise strategies to improve the production and productivity of mango. This research study was undertaken to assess the extent of adoption of recommended technologies in mango cultivation by the mango growers. The study was taken up at Dindigul, one of the mango predominant districts in Tamil Nadu State. A sample size of one hundred and twenty mango growers were selected based on proportionate random sampling method. This study revealed that majority of the mango growers had medium level of adoption of latest recommended technologies in mango cultivation, whereas about one – fourth of them had high level of adoption and slightly more than two - fifth of them had low level of adoption of the recommended mango technologies.
