Abstract
Mango is one of the important and favorite fruits of Pakistan. However, its yield per hectare is very low in the
country as compared to potential yield. This might be due to many factors including non-adoption of plant
protection, harvesting and post-harvest technologies by mango growers. These factors not only affect the yield
but the quality of the fruit. Therefore, the present study was designed to assess communication gap regarding
plant protection, harvesting and post-harvest technologies among mango growers of tehsil Muzaffargarh. Out of
33 rural union councils, five union councils were selected randomly, one from each markaz. Two villages were
selected at random from each selected union council. Fifteen mango growers were selected from each selected
village by random sampling technique. The data were collected through interview schedule and were analyzed
with the help of statistical package for social sciences (SPSS).
