    The study conducted in Tumkur district of Karnataka State revealed that major source of information consulted by coconut growers are formal source followed by information and media source. But the least consulted one is institutional source. The practices like-recommended variety, spacing inter cultivation and application of FYM are fully adopted by majority of respondents. Majority of them did not follow raising nursery, growing green manure crop and plant protection. Whereas, fertilizers application, irrigation, plant protection and construction of bunds are partially adopted. The adoption behaviour is positiveely and significantly related with all the socio-personal characteristics of respondents, except with the age.
