Karukumalli Sindhura, Dr. VS Tekale, and Dr. Pranali N Thakre

Vegetable growing is becoming more and more important in low-income households. Given that it yields more and generates a higher economic return faster than food grains, cultivating vegetables has a great deal of potential to improve socioeconomic status of small and marginal farmers. The present study was conducted to know the relationship between the profile of vegetable growers and their extension needs. Exploratory research design was used to carry out the study. A sample of 120 respondents were selected by covering 10 villages of two districts in Amaravati Division of Maharashtra State for the purpose of the study. The results of correlation revealed that, the characteristics of the respondent’s viz., education, family size, annual income, land holding, social participation, information sharing behaviour, source of information, innovativeness, risk orientation had positive and highly significant relationship with their extension needs. In case of age, area under vegetables and experience in vegetable cultivation of the respondents, it was found to be negatively significant with their extension needs. This study throws light on the existing relationship of the vegetable growers and their extension needs.
