Integrated pest management (IPM), also known as Integrated Pest Control (IPC) is a broad-based approach that integrates practices for economic control of pests. Constraints mean hindrances or obstructions in the way of banana growers in adoption of integrated pest management practices. Keeping this in view, an attempt has been made to study constraints faced by banana growers of in adoption of IPM. The present study was conducted in Anand district of the Gujarat state in India. Total sample size for this research study was 100 banana growers adopting integrated pest management practices. Major constraints faced by farmers in adopting IPM were; lack of quality inputs for IPM in time, lack of training to the banana growers about IPM, high cost of chemicals and spraying equipments for IPM and un-availability of technical guidance for IPM in time. The major suggestions given by the banana growers to overcome the constraints faced by them in the adoption of IPM were; training should be given to the farmers regarding IPM practices, timely supply of quality IPM inputs and proper technical guidance for IPM.
