Maize, in particular, is of crucial importance in the country but face similar issues where actual yields fall well short of their potential. This study aims to explore the technological gap in maize cultivation specifically within Assam. To address this, research was purposefully conducted in Sonitpur district of Assam.From an aggregate of 122 shareholders, a sample of 80 shareholders was selected as respondents of the study by following a Random Sampling Technique. The data were collected with the help of a pre tested schedule from four villages of Sonitpur district. The study revealed that the variables variables age, education level, occupational status, operational land holding, experience as a maize grower, exposure to training on maize cultivation, net annual farm income, availability of working capital for maize cultivation, farm mechanization, knowledge on maize cultivation, economic motivation, degree of commercialization of maize cultivation practices had significant and negative correlation with the extent of technological gap in adoption of maize cultivation practices at 0.01 level of probability. The variables family type, institutional linkage for maize cultivation showed significant and negative correlation with the extent of technological gap in adoption of maize cultivation practices at 0.05 level of probability.
