Abstract
The convenience of using integrated weed management depends on
knowledge, attitudes skill and other situational factors of the farmer. Since, change in
knowledge and attitude preceded adoption of an innovation and hence it is essential
to analyze the situation as well as to find out the way and means for enhancing rate of
adoption with special reference to integrated weed management among the group of
farmers by focusing attention of scientist’s and extension functionaries to plan
suitable strategies with judicious use of integrated weed management practices for the
substantiality of agriculture in the future. Keeping this view in mind, the present study
entitled "Determinants of Knowledge of Cotton Growers about Integrated Weed
Management Practices” with following objectives. 1. To study the profile of cotton growers.
2. To explore the relative credibility of information sources as accorded by the
cotton growers.
3. To study the knowledge of cotton growers regarding integrated weed
management practices.
4. To find out relationship between profile of cotton growers and their knowledge
about integrated weed management practices.
5. To find out the constraints faced by cotton growers in adoption of integrated
weed management practices.
6. To seek suggestions from cotton growers to overcome such constraints.
