The study was conducted in Kanpur Nagar district of Uttar Pradesh. 5 villages of Kakwan block in Kanpur Nagar district was selected purposively for the study because of the criteria of nearness to researcher villages and its accessibility. A complete list of all onion growers in each selected village was prepared from the list. A total number of 120 farmers were selected through proportionate random sampling techniques. The structure schedule was developed keeping in view the objective and variable to be studied. The study revealed that majority of the respondents (60.00%) had medium knowledge level followed by high knowledge level (22.50%), and low knowledge level (17.50%). Also observed that variables like housing pattern and risk orientation knowledge extent about onion cultivation had highly significant and positive correlation with the knowledge about onion practices
