    A study on knowledge and adoption of recommended cultivation practices among Thompson seedless grape growers in Bijapur district of Karnataka was carried out during 2013-14.Larger number of growers were of middle aged (90.00%), studied up to preuniversity (40.00%), living in small family (36.67%), having large land holding (46.66%)with medium level of extension contact (40.00%), extension participation (66.66%), economic motivation (46.66%) and risk orientation (40.00%).It was found that considerable number of growers having high level of mass media participation (53.33%) and scientific orientation (35.00%).Majority (62.50%) of grape growers had high level knowledge about recommended cultivation practices of grape. Cent per cent of growers had correct knowledge about recommended variety, soil, rootstock, training, irrigation and management of thrips, downey mildew and anthracnose. Majority of growers had incorrect knowledge about fertilizer application at winter (70.00%) and summer (73.33%) seasons, grafting method (66.66%) and cycocyl application (46.66%). Over four fifth (86.66%) of growers belonged to high level of adoption category. Cent per cent of growers adopted recommended soil, variety, trench size, rootstock, grafting time, training, pruning and irrigation. Three fourth (76.66%) of growers had adopted growth regulators fully and 11.67 per cent of were partial and non-adopters. More than half (66.67%) of growers have sold grape through pre harvest contractor and 33.33 per cent through vendor.The major problems perceived by the grape growers are lack of skilled labour (100.00%), inadequate technical guidance (94.14%), costly planting material (93.33%), insufficient credit (93.33%), delayed cash payment by pre harvest contractor (89.16%) and irregular supply of electricity (82.50%).
