The present study was conducted in Chandur Bazar and Achalpur talukas of Amravati district of Maharashtra state. The sample of study comprised of 120 mandarin growers purposively selected from six villages of each Chandur Bazar and Achalpur taluka of Amravati district. The salient findings of the present study revealed that 65.83 per cent of respondents belonged to medium category of adoption about recommended technologies of mandarin. The findings of correlation analysis revealed that characteristics such as education, annual income, extension contact innovativeness and risk preference were having positively significant with knowledge and adoption. As far as constraints in adoption of recommended technologies of mandarin are concerned, all of respondents (100%) faced the constraint of non availability market storage facility and location of research station at large distance, followed by 96.67 per cent of the respondents faced the constraints of high cost of labour for orchard operation. Majority (94.17%) of the respondents faced the constraints of high cost of transportation. It was observed that 91.67 per cent of the respondents faced the constraints of complexity of message and difficulty in its interpretation. Near about 87.50 per cent of the respondent faced the constraint of lacking of training activities. 83.33 per cent of the respondents faced the constraint of high wages for skilled labour to perform various operation on farm. Nearly 57.00 per cent of the respondents faced the constraints of lack of awareness about latest technologies used in mandarin orchard. Hence this research study implied that extension functionaries have great scope to improve the adoption level of recommended technologies suggested by the Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola in study area.
