Society of Extension Education GujaratAbstract: Polyhouse technology offers an excellent opportunity to grow high value crops during off-season with maximum input use efficiency. However, the successful implementation of polyhouse farming requires adequate knowledge about the specific cultivation practices involved. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the farmer knowledge about polyhouse vegetable cultivation practices in Southern Rajasthan and also ascertain the relationship between knowledge of farmers with their personal characteristic. The study was carried out in two districts of Rajasthan namely Bhilwara and Chittorgarh. Data was collected through surveys and interviews conducted with farmers in the region. The analysis of the data was done with the help of different statistical tools like frequency distribution, percentage, mean, standard deviation, mean percent score and correlation coefficient. The study clearly shows that majority of respondents (63.00%) were having medium level of knowledge about polyhouse vegetable cultivation practices in study area. They had highest knowledge about the aspect of components of polyhouse and least about nematode infestation in polyhouse and its control methods. There was a significant correlation found between annual income, education level and land holding with knowledge of respondents about polyhouse vegetable cultivation practices.
