Improved wheat production technologies are under-adopted by farmers in many regions, largely due to a lack of comprehensive research on socio-economic, cultural, institutional, and psychological factors influencing decision-making processes. This lack of integrative frameworks creates a critical gap in designing sustainable, farmer-centric pathways for scaling up these technologies. In this background present study was conducted during 2022-23 to know the attitude, constraints and strategic pathway of adoption of recommended wheat production practices among wheat cultivating farmers of the Lakhimpur Kheri district of Uttar Pradesh. The result revealed that less than half (43.3%) of the wheat growers had high favorable attitude towards wheat cultivation followed by 32.5 and 24.1 percent had medium and low favorable attitudes towards wheat cultivation technology, respectively. The rank of order for constraints revealed that high cost of farm power implement and diesel with MPS 93.33 ranked I, followed by high charge of electricity for tube well with MPS 90.83 ranked II and high cost of insecticides and fungicides with MPS 85.83 ranked III. The suitable approach for the safeguard of crop against animals with MPS 95.83 ranked I, followed by government should focus on providing proper supply of electricity with MPS 89.16 ranked II and government should provide insurance for wheat crop with MPS 85.00 were ranked III.
