The present study evaluated the impact of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) technology on pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] production conducted in Amravati district of Maharashtra during 2024. Primary data were collected from 120 farmers across six villages using a multistage random sampling technique. Analytical tools such as the Technology Adoption Index and Garrett’s ranking method were applied. The study revealed that the overall adoption of IPM practices were 48%, with adoption indices of 0.25, 0.51, and 0.74 among low, medium, and high adopters, respectively. Major constraints in adoption included lack of awareness (ranked 1st), higher cost of IPM components, non-availability of bioagents, and shortage of skilled labour. The findings shows that IPM significantly improves profitability and sustainability in Pigeonpea cultivation by reducing chemical dependency, enhancing yields, and ensuring eco-friendly crop protection. Wider dissemination and farmer training related to IPM practices are essential to increase adoption and maximize benefits.
