The study was initiated to find out the effectiveness of farmers training for cereal crop production in Myagdi and Baglung districts in terms of differential level of knowledge gained, adoption of recommended improved practices and yield of cereal crops of the farms. It was found that majority of the respondents gained moderate level of knowledge and adoption of recommended practices. The yield of rice, maize and wheat crops was increased significantly. Age, family size, education, landholding size and ethnicity were not related with the level of knowledge gained, and except education, none of the personal and socio-economic factors influenced the level of adoption on recommended practices of cereal crops.
