An investigation was undertaken to access the knowledge of saffron growers on saffron production technology in Kashmir Province of J & K State. This study was conducted in six villages of block Pampore, selected on the basis of maximum area under saffron. The data collected from 180 saffron growers revealed that the majority among them had high knowledge on traditional practices, but they had low to medium knowledge on improved practices like, soil management, spacing, corm treatment, nutrient management, weed management, intercropping and irrigation methods. This calls for effective way to transfer technology to enhance the technical knowledge of the saffron growers. Key words: Saffron, knowledge, production, technology, Kashmir.
