Rajasthan ranked first among all states of India in terms of both area and production of rapeseed and mustard so there is no doubt to say mustard state to Rajasthan in spite of having a lot of technology, production of mustard is not up to the higher extent. Keeping this view, study was conducted in four gram panchayats of Tonk district, Rajasthan.An exhaustive list of mustard growers from selected villages were prepared and total 130 respondents were selected randomly through proportional allocation method. The study revealed that the majority of the farmers (92) were found to have medium knowledge level (70.77 per cent) whereas 16.15 per cent and 13.08 per cent of farmers were having high and low knowledge level, respectively about recommended production technology of rapeseed and mustard crop. It was also found that the respondents possessed maximum knowledge regarding “seed rate and recommended spacing†and “Time of sowing†of rapeseed and mustard production technology, respectively. Similarly, they possessed less knowledge regarding “seed treatment†and “plant protection measuresâ€, respectively.
