A study was conducted in one district of U.P. ‘Unnao’ which has a Krishi Vigyan kendra run by Non-Govt. Organization. The KVK is repository of scientific knowledge for agriculture and its allied disciplines and it can be transmitted through effective extension means to the farmers who, in turn, can use this knowledge to improve the production and productivity in their farm operations. KVKs are playing a vital role across the rural economy in areas as diverse as animal husbandry, horticulture, plant protection and food processing. KVK’s role in these sectors is crucial as it is ideally placed to disseminate field-tested proven technologies with appropriate modulations which addresses location specific problems and concerns on the prevailing natural and socio-economic conditions, needs and priorities. In this study, extents of adoption of eight selected improved cultivation practices of wheat production technologies were measured. To measure the extent of adoption and to campare the impact of training on extent of adoption, 110 number of respondents were selected from trained farmers and the same number of respondents were selected from surrounding area who had not been trained. Study was conducted in three different ways- firstly, all respondents were interviewed and categorised in to three groups of high, medium and low category of farmers for adoption of improved wheat production technologies. Secondly, overall adoption for both categories of respondents was measured and lastly difference between the adoption of both categories of respondents was reckoned in terms of adoption of different practices of wheat production. High level of adoption was seen in adopting appropriate seed-rate (63.64% in trained groups) and (55.45% in untrained groups), whereas majority of the farmers were falling under medium adopters
