The study intended to know the personal profile of potato growers and constraints being
faced by them. 150 potato growers were selected for this study from 5 villages of 2 selected
blocks of Jalandhar district by using non-probability sampling method. Regarding the sociopersonal
characteristics of the potato growers, the study revealed that 54.66 per cent of the
respondents were from the age group of 40-55 years. 32.66 per cent of them were matriculate
and more than 50 per cent of them were having 2 to 38 acres operational landholding. Further, it
was found that majority of potato growers (92.00%) followed rice-potato-fallow rotation.68.00
per cent had medium mass media exposure. 58.66 per cent respondents had 1 to 33 acres area
under potato cultivation and majority of them had 8-12 years of experience in potato growing.
Majority of the respondents reported non-availability of disease resistant varieties and 68.00 per
