A survey was conducted in Lakhimpur Kheri and Bahraich districts of Uttar Pradesh, India during 2010 on 100 farmers to ascertain the methods used for dissemination of pulse production technologies (PPT) by extension worker, mode of dissemination, adoption of these improved technologies and constraints perceived in pulse production. About 24% farmers informed that excursion trip was conducted by extension workers for dissemination of PPT followed by group discussion and meeting. Most of these technologies were disseminated through progressive farmers in both the districts. Study also indicated that growing of pulses was profitable, environment friendly and also useful in way of improving the soil health although adoption of PPT was found low in both districts. The first and foremost constraint faced by these farmers was nonavailability of quality seed.
