Abstract

The present study was conducted in the Ayodhya district of Uttar Pradesh during 2024-2025 to assess the knowledge extent of farmers regarding the package of practices in onion cultivation. A total of 160 respondents were selected from 16 villages across four purposively selected blocks. The findings revealed that the majority of respondents (59.37%) had medium-level knowledge, followed by 25.00% with high-level and 15.63% with low-level knowledge. Maximum knowledge was observed in field preparation practices, while plant protection and seed treatment received the least attention. The study emphasizes the need for focused training in weak areas to improve scientific onion cultivation.
