Abstract
Climate change means shifts in the typical climate conditions, including changes in things like extreme weather events. These shifts happen over time and across different places, separate from single weather incidents. The study aims to find out the relationship between the profile of soybean growers and their knowledge about climate-resilient technology. The study was conducted in twelve villages of Latur district from Marathwada region of Maharashtra State in 2024 – June, 2025 with 120 soybean growers. Ex-post facto research design was used for the study. As regards with independent variables, area under soybean, sources of information, training received, at 0.01% each, then extension contact, risk orientation and market orientation at 0.05% each had positive and highly significant relationship while education, land holding and experience in soybean cultivation at 0.01% each established positive and significant relationship with knowledge of climate resilient technologies by soybean growers.
Keywords: Soybean cultivation, growers, climate resilient technologies, agricultural knowledge
