The objectives of this study are (i) to develop the Recommended Technology Adoption Index (RTAI), and (ii) to determine the relationship between socioeconomic characteristics of the farmers which affect the technology adoption level of Sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum). The average technology adoption index of study area was 0.72 with minimum 0.46 and maximum of 0.89 and the correlation between index and yield was 62.26%. Multiple Linear Regression technique was used to determine the relationship between RTAI and socioeconomic characteristics. The statistical outcome shows that monthly income, education, being a member of social association and farmers' visit of extension office, have a significant impact on recommended technology adaptation. Increment of access for loans and strengthening the extension service is suggested to enhance the technology adoption level of sugarcane cultivation.
