 ABSTRACT

Present study on technological gap in potato cultivation in district Kannauj was carried out on randomly selected one hundred twenty potato growers from Moosar and Tilpai village of Jalalabad block and Katkaiya and Tighera village of Talgram block of district Kannauj. Knowledge regarding recommended potato cultivation technology was measured by using knowledge test developed by Sharma et al, (1991) with minor modification. Adoption of recommended potato cultivation technology was measured by means of "Adoption intensity index". Overall technological gap was measured by using recommended technology and extent of adoption of technology. Analysis of data reveals that level of knowledge and extent of adoption was medium for 64.14 percent and 61.66 percent potato growers respectively. Technological gap was also medium for 67.50 percent potato growers. Significant correlation co efficient of education, size of land holding and annual income was observed with level of knowledge and extent of adoption.

Keywords: Technological, Gap, Knowledge and Extent of adoption
