This study was conducted in Haringtonganj block of Faizabad district of Uttar Pradesh to know the training gap of mustard growing farmers during the agricultural year 2013-14. A sample of one hundred farmers was selected randomly from the list of 5 purposively selected villages for collection of primary data. A well structured and pretested interview schedule was used for data collection through personal interview .The findings indicate that the most preferred size of training group as expressed by the maximum respondents (35%) was 11-20. The data exposed that most of the respondents did not possess required knowledge concerning to the mustard production technology, especially plant protection measures, application and use of manures and fertilizers, field preparation etc., So, there is an urgent need to enhance the good communication and extension system and input service system to make the farmers aware about latest innovations.
