Abstract
Cotton is a commercial crop that plays a major role in India's economy. In
India, it is cultivated across nine states and Gujarat is leading cottongrowing
state in the country. Though India is having the largest area
under cotton, its average productivity is low against the world average.
There may be many reasons for such low productivity. SAUs, private
companies and NGOs in India generate large numbers of technologies
for cotton cultivation. Unless these technologies are taken to the farmers
at the time it is needed, its rate of adoption would be low. Information is
considered as a critical input in decision-making particularly for
acceptance of a technology by the farmer. Further, there may be many
more such information that may help a farmer in taking an economic
decision regarding cotton cultivation
