Abstract: This Working Paper is a part of the project on 'Economic and Management Aspects of Sugar Production from Sugar beet' sponsored by the Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India, to the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad. The scope of this paper is restricted to cultivation of sugar beet. After giving a brief account of achievements in sugar beet cultivation in Sri Ganganagar, we have presented a depth study of 49 cultivators (growers, dropouts and non-adopters). The various aspects covered include awareness, adoption and diffusion of sugar beet cultivation among the sample farmers, actual and recommended cultivation practices, and cultivators' experience in beet cultivation, comparative profitability of beet and other crops, and implications for its spread in North India.
