Abstract: Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan (L.)) commonly known as Red gram or Arhar, is the crop belonging to Fabaceae family and it is playing an important role in preserving poor smallholder’s major source of tropics and subtropics. Looking to the importance of the problem, a study was conducted in Parbhani district of Maharashtra State and its objective was to examine constraints faced by the Godavari (BDN 2013-41) Pigeon pea adopters and non-adopters. By using multi-stage sampling design II talukas; Parbhani and Selu of Parbhani district were selected for the study. Total three villages selected from each taluka and 20 farmers were selected from each village. Thus, total sample size was 120 farmers. In this investigation, constraints were categorized into six different categories viz. Personal, Socio- economic, Communication, Technological, Agronomical and Marketing constraints. The constraints were analyzed with the help of Garret’s Ranking Technique (GRT). The major constraint faced by Godavari (BDN 2013-41) from each category were Lack of knowledge (57.28 and 55.50 mean score), High cost (65.80 mean score) and Small land holding (59.00 mean score), Training of Pigeon pea package of practices (44.2 and 40.3 mean score), Non- availability of inputs (HYV seeds, fertilizers, equipment etc.) at proper time in village or nearby village (58.45 and 59.95 mean score), High incidence of pest (66.16 mean score) and High incidence of sterility mosaic virus (66.16 mean score), Low prices at the time of harvesting (22.79 and 29.11 percent) by adopter and non-adopter.
