Abstract: In Bhadradri Kothagudem District, cotton is the main cash crop that produces better returns than anticipated, although there are several significant factors that hinder the profit. The present study will make an effort to study and identify the issues cotton growers confront. 100 cotton farmers were chosen at random from the Telangana district of Bhadradri kothagudem. Five villages in the Cherla block were chosen at random for the study: Upparigudem, Singhasamudram, Mallaram, Gannavaram, and G. colony. In this study, the socioeconomic circumstances in the chosen study area were analysed in order to examine the problems that cotton growers face. The study discovers that the age, education, and farming experience of the head of home have a substantial impact on enhanced cotton cultivation..To find out the most significant factor which influences in cotton cultivation , Garrett's ranking technique is used to determine the most important factor influencing the response. Garrett's Ranking Technique allows you to convert the orders of problems into numerical scores. The benefit of this method is that the problems are sorted according to their severity from the respondents' perspective and it concludes that cotton farmers' biggest issue was their ignorance of modern scientific crop practices, and their least significant issue was a lack of timely access to financing [1].
