India ranks second in the world in total fruit production, with production estimates around 106 million tonnes annually, behind China’s roughly 242+ million tonnes. Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Gujrat, Bihar, and Uttar Pradesh are the main fruit-growing states in India. The present study was conducted in Maharashtra with the specific objective of determining the “Adoption Level of Pomegranate Growers.” Nashik, Solapur, and Ahmednagar (Ahilyanagar) districts were purposively selected, as they are among the major pomegranate growing districts in the state. A total of 180 pomegranate growers were selected from six tehsils across these districts. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis. The findings revealed that the majority (67.78%) of pomegranate growers had a medium level of adoption of recommended cultivation practices, followed by 18.33% with a high level of adoption and 13.89% with a low level of adoption.
