Abstract: Efficient transfer of innovation and their practical application to the field situation is the key to economic development of Chhattisgarh and India also. Still there is a wide gap between the development of innovation and their application at field level or farmers level. An attempt has been made to know the knowledge level of SRI technology. The present study was conducted in Dhamtari district of Chhattisgarh. The study revealed that majority of the respondents (80.16%) had high level of knowledge followed by 17.46 per cent of the respondents who have medium level of knowledge. Only 2.38 per cent of the respondents had low knowledge level. Out of eighteen recommended practices of SRI technology, maximum knowledge level was found towards Seeds soaked for 24 hours before raising nursery and minimum knowledge level was found towards No inundation to be done, field should be at saturation level.
Keywords: SRI technology, Knowledge and Paddy crop nutrients
