The present study was conducted in Dahod district of Gujarat State, India. Fifteen villages of Dahod district and ten farmers from each village were selected randomly for the study. Thus, in all, 150 soybean growers constituted the sample for this investigation. The data for this study was collected by arranging personal interview and filling up of the survey performa. The results of the study revealed that the technological gap of all categories of respondents was found to be negatively and significantly related with the independent variables viz. level of knowledge, education, social participation, source of information utilized and cropping intensity. Further, it was found that technological gap among the marginal farmers’ was negatively and significantly related with one independent variable i.e. farm implements. Age was positively and significantly related with the technological gap in recommended soybean production technology.
