Abstract: The present study was conducted in Durg district of Chhattisgarh state during the years 2022–23 to study the farmers' adoption of improved paddy cultivation practices. One hundred twenty respondents were randomly selected based on the criteria that no previous study had been undertaken. Farmers were personally interviewed using a pre-tested interview schedule. The majority of respondents had a high (15.83%), medium (53.34%) and low (30.83%) adoption level, hence, there is a necessity to provide training programs through Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs) and the Agricultural Departments to improve paddy cultivation methods so that the farmers can enhance their adoption levels of paddy production technology. The independent variables, namely age, education, annual income, farming experience, social participation, extension contacts, land holding, economic motivation and risk orientation were positively and significantly correlated with the adoption behaviour of paddy growers towards improved paddy production practices.
