Abstract
The potato is an important crop in vegetables. It is grown in sandy to clay-loamy soil in the winter season. Potassium and vitamin C are abundant in potatoes. Both governmental and private agriculture extension services actively educate farmers about suggested techniques for producing potatoes and offer guidance on how to implement these practices. This study aimed to investigate the discrepancy between accepted and advised potato production technology techniques. Pakistan's primary potato hub is Okara. Tehsil Okara was selected randomly from 3 tehsils (Okara, Depalpur, Renala Khurd) of district Okara. A random sampling was carried out for 120 Okara potato growers, the study's key data were gathered through a field survey. According to the survey, most farmers were aware of the suggested potato production technology and many had already embraced it. However, a sizable portion did not follow the advised guidelines. Therefore, to get a high yield of potatoes per acre, it is necessary to strengthen the efforts of extension services and implement more advanced advice. Extension activities must be adjusted to farmers' needs.
