Abstract

Aonla (Indian gooseberry) trees are tropical drought-resistant widely grown in India. The fruit crop (Emblica officinalis L.) one of the most important minor fruits and a crop of commercial significance. Knowledge of farmers is crucial important factor for cultivating this hardy fruit. Research represent that the education (0.28), training involvement (0.23), cosmopoliteness (0.21), annual income (0.24), orchard land holding (0.26), scientific orientation (0.22), and economic motivation (0.27) were positive and highly significantly related with knowledge of aonla growers about aonla production technology at 0.01 level of significance while, innovativeness (0.16), and risk preference (0.19) were positively significant with knowledge of aonla growers about aonla production technology at 0.05 level of significance.
