Whereas, in case of overall adoption of recommended cultivation practices of lime it was observed that as high as (42.18%) of respondents belonged to medium adoption category of recommended cultivation practices of lime, followed by high (34.29%) and low (23.57%) category.

Similarly, education, annual income experience in lime cultivation, land holding, extension contact, mass media participation and economic motivation of lime growers exhibited positive and significant relationship with adoption of recommended cultivation practices of lime.
