Abstract: A study was conducted to ascertain the level of knowledge and adoption behavior of the farmers with respect to paddy cultivation technology due to training by Krishi Vigyan Kendra Haidergarh, Barabanki, and Uttar Pradesh. Farmers were selected from the five villages namely Hetampur from Masoli Block, Sansara and Bijapur from Haidergarh block Devgarhpur and Tajwapur from Trivediganj block and impact training on scientific paddy cultivation technologies. Twenty five trainees and equal number of non-trainees were randomly selected making the sample size 50 farmers. It was found that trainees had high level of knowledge (80%) whereas in case of non-trainees, 56% high level, 40% medium level and only 8% with low level of knowledge. There was a significant difference between trainees and non-trainees regarding the knowledge about the package of practices of paddy crop. The study also revealed that most of the trainees (88%) had higher level of adoption fallowed by medium level (12%) whereas, most of the non-trainees had medium level of adoption (64%) followed by low level of adoption (32%). This indicates that there had been a significant difference between trainees and non-trainees regarding the extent of adoption of package of practices of paddy crop. Trainees had higher level of adoption of recommended packages of practices as also higher mean score than the non-trainees. Thus, it could be concluded that trainees had more knowledge and extent of adoption of package of practices of paddy crop than non-trainees. The KVK Haidergarh District Barabanki should organize more number of training programme for maximum benefit of the farmers.
