Most of cotton growers i.e., 60.84 per cent of cotton growers had medium level of adoption of IPM technology. Socio economic characteristics like Education, land holding, area under cotton cultivation, source of irrigation, annual income, source of information, extension contact, economic motivation and risk orientation were positively and significantly related with adoption of IPM for controlling pink bollworm. Whereas, age and farming experience were negatively significant with adoption of IPM for controlling pink bollworm and occupation was positively non- significant with adoption of IPM for controlling pink bollworm.
