The study was conducted to explore the association between selected attributes of the drip owners and their knowledge level regarding drip irrigation management practices. Data were collected through personal interview during the year 2017 from purposively selected of Aravalli districts of Gujarat with the sample size of 150 respondents. The results of correlation analysis clearly indicated that the independent variables namely age, education, social participation and irrigation intensity had positive and significant association with knowledge level of drip owners.
