Abstract : The average adoption index of low, medium and high adopters group was 45.14, 64.73 and 90.22 per cent, respectively and per hectare yield of mango orchard was 33.28 q. The cost 'C' ranged from Rs. 74,214/- (low adopters) to Rs. 1,18,493/- (high adopters) and gross returns at cost 'C' were Rs. 82381/- (low adopters) to Rs. 168615/- (high adopters). The benefit cost ratios were 1.11 low adopters and 1.42 for high adopters. At overall level it was 1.30. It was concluded from the study that, though technology adoption increased per hectares cost, but returns, benefit cost ratio and net profit also increased. Hence, it is necessary that the initiative be taken to increase the technology adoption.
