Black gram, also known as urad dal or black lentil, is a type of legume that belongs to the Fabaceae family. It is extensively cultivated in the Indian subcontinent and is a staple in various cuisines of the region. Black gram is highly nutritious and has several health benefits. The study was conducted to find out thelevel of knowledge and adoption of Urd crop production technology and its relationship to the socio-demographic profile of the farmers. A sample of 120 farmers was drawn by following a multistage random sampling method from the Mirzapur district of Uttar Pradesh.The collected data were analyzed using the chi-square test to find the level of knowledge and adoption of Urd crop production technologyand their relationship on each independent variable. The findings of the study revealed that the majority (58.33%) of the farmers were middle-aged groups, Graduation was the highest educational level among farmers (40.83%), and 86.66 percent of the farmers had a medium level of annual income. The results further revealed that the independent variables like age, education, occupation, land holding, and mass media exposure were found to havea significant relationship with their level of knowledge and adoption of Urd crop farmers.
