Abstract: The Study was conducted to measure the attitude of pulse growers towards indigenous technology and the constraints faced by Pulse growers in practicing indigenous technologies. The study was carried out in Thanjavur, Pudukkottai, Tiruvarur districts of Tamil Nadu. In each district five blocks were selected for the study based on the area under pulse crop. Two villages were selected in each selected blocks based on the maximum area under pulse crop. Three hundred farmers were selected randomly from the selected villages as ten farmers in each village, as these blocks have highest area and production of pulses crop. The result shows that majority of the pulse growers had favorable attitude towards Indigenous Technical Knowledge in agriculture. The major constraints faced by the pulse growers were lack of expertise in the field of indigenous practices, lack of proper documentation of indigenous practices, poor water retention capacity of the soil, lack of expertise in indigenous technologies, appearance of periodic drought spells and lack of pest and disease resistant varieties.
