The “Ex-post-facto” research design was used for the study. Data were recorded through interview schedule and were analyzed by using appropriate statistical methods. The study revealed that the maximum 53.34 per cent respondents had medium level of overall knowledge about chilli production technology. In case of reasons for decline of chilli crop in research area were 95 per cent lack of Churdamurda resistant varieties of chilli, 93.33 per cent delayed transplanting because of no rains, 88 per cent vagaries in monsoon, and 80.00 per cen thigh cost of insecticides, fertilizers and inputs are the major factors associated for decline the area under chilli cultivation.
