It was observed that 45.56 per cent of the beneficiaries belonged to medium knowledge category followed by low (27.78 %) and high (26.67 %) categories. Majority of the beneficiaries had knowledge about varieties of groundnut suited for the region A large majority (91.11 %) of the beneficiaries had knowledge about recommended seed rate followed by seed treatment with Rhizobium & PSB.
