The present research deals with the IPM techniques adoption in pigeon pea. It is concluded from the study that adoption index was 12 per cent in small farmers of low group having 29.16 percent, subsequent adoption index of medium and large groups were 48.02 and 72.11 per cent respectively which indicates the increasing trend of adoption. Although pigeon pea grows at large area yet the production per unit is very low due to attack of pests and diseases at vegetative growth to pod formation stage. It was observed that IPM techniques adoption index gradually increased as the production increased. The overall cost of cultivation decreased with the increasing adoption techniques of IPM. The overall return was increased as B:C ratio indicated 1:1.78 in increasing trend.
