Abstract: Bt cotton technology was first developed and commercialized by the US company Monsanto in 1996. Bt technology has changed the landscape of cotton crop and has become the fastest adopted technology in the history of Indian agriculture. The study was conducted in Fatehabad district of Haryana state. Block Bhuna was selected from this district. From the selected block two villages namely Gorakhpur and Chobara were drawn, where more number of farmers was growing Bt. cotton. Chi – Square test used to find whether the two attributes are associated or not. This particular research was conducted with the specific objectives to know the nature and extent of adoption and examine the constraints faced by Bt.cotton growers. It was found that 20.00 per cent of the respondents had low level of adoption regarding Bt. cotton technology while 26.00 per cent and 74.00 per cent had it medium and high respectively. Main constraints reported by all the respondents were continued reduction in productivity of Bt. cotton and attack of white fly on their cash crop.
