Abstract: The present study was conducted to access the impact of Front Line Demonstrations on knowledge level of rose growers about Integrated Nutrient Management Practices in rose in two purposively selected Taluka of Anand district of Gujarat State. Purposively Five villages (Tranol, Rasnol, Kunjarav, Zakhala, Badhipura) from Anand taluka and three villages (Rinza, Nabhoi, Pachegam) from Tarapur taluka were selected. From each village, five respondents who benefited by FLD and five respondents who not benefited by FLD from KVK were selected. Thus total 40 FLD beneficiaries were selected purposively and 40 FLD non-beneficiaries respondents were selected randomly from selected eight villages of two talukas. The data revealed that great majority (85 %) of the beneficiaries had high to very high level of knowledge whereas exactly half (50 %) percent of the FLD non beneficiaries had medium to very high level of knowledge about INM, respectively and mean score of Knowledge index of beneficiaries was 74.23 and mean score of Knowledge Index of non-beneficiaries was 43.34. The "t"- test is performed to compare both mean and t-test found highly significant at 0.01 level of significance.
