The study was conducted in the twenty villages of Deori block of Sagar district of Madhya Pradesh during the year 2015-16. The present study was undertaken to find out the constraints in adoption of improved production technology of soybean. It was found that the majority of the famers adopted scientific recommendations about improved varieties, time of sowing, manual and chemical weed management were adopted, while seed treatment and plant protection measures were not adopted by majority of the farmers due to lack of knowledge and high cost involved in purchasing of agro-chemicals, The finding of study reveals that the constraints related with personal matter farmers reported that lack of education (73.42%) and lacks of knowledge (59,03%) were the major constraint. Problem of non-availability of credit at proper time and non-availability of proper amount in credit were important socioeconomic constraints. The study also indicated that the lack of social participation and lack of risk bearing capacity were major socio-psychological constraint. As far as the communicational constraints were concerned, lack of information at proper amount was found a major constraint followed by lack of information in proper time and non-availability of information media. It was observed about 84.18 per cent respondents reported the lack of irrigation facility as the major constraints while, non-availability of inputs at proper time at village or nearby village was reported by 76.82 per cent.
