Pulses are the main source of quality protein and a rich source of energy, minerals and certain vitamins. The study was conducted in Jaipur district of Rajasthan. Jaipur district comprises of sixteen tehsils, out of which 3 tehsils viz., Dudu, Phulera and Phagi were selected purposely. Out of selected Tehsil two gram panchayats were selected randomly from each tehsils and two revenue villages were selected from each selected gram panchayat on the basis of random sampling method. Thus, the total 12 villages were selected. After that we took total 120 mungbean growing farmers (respondents) were selected randomly through proportional allocation to the size of sample. The study found that three fourth of the farmers 72.50 per cent were categorized in medium knowledge level, whereas 15.87 per cent and 11.67 per cent were having low and high knowledge level about recommended production technology of mungbean. It was found that farmers possessed maximum knowledge regarding “Spacing” (81.66 MPS) and “high yielding varieties” (77.22 MPS) of mungbean crop, and farmers possessed less knowledge regarding “storage” aspects (42.85 MPS).
