The present investigation was carried out in Bhilwara district of Rajasthan. A sample of 100 respondents spread over four villages of two panchayat samities was selected for the study purpose. The present study revealed that majority of respondents was found to have medium level adoption of improved cultivation practices of black gram. The study indicates that farmers had high adoption level of practices viz., the irrigation management and harvesting and low adoption practices, manure and fertilizer application, sowing, weed management, intercropping and improved varieties. So there is need to adopt full improved recommended package of practices for the increasing of productivity. The black gram growers perceived constraints like lack of training institutions for training of the farmers, non-availability of improved seed, lack of technical advice for crop cultivation, absence of regulated market and non-availability of fertilizers, etc. The constraints expressed for non-adoption of recommended package of practices should be taken care by the researchers, state agricultural departments, extension agencies and commercial firms to orient their infrastructure for higher adoption of recommended practices by black gram growers for maximum production.
