In the Marathwada region of Maharashtra state, the current study was carried out in 2023–2024 with the goal of "to know the constraints faced by turmeric growers while using the biomix and to obtain their suggestions". Parbhani and Hingoli district in the state of Maharashtra was chosen for the study. Two tehsils, Parbhani from Parbhani district and Basmat from Hingoli district selected. Six villages from each tehsil/mandal were chosen with a significant number of turmeric growers using biomix, and Ten respondents were chosen at Purposively from each village that was considered, making the sample size 120. Ex-post-facto research design was used for the study. Data was gathered using a well-structured interview schedule created with the study's objective in mind. The respondents were asked to mention their views about constraints faced while using biomix. The responses about constraints were obtained by using close end questions. The responses were quantified and ranked. Also with the objective of eliciting suggestions of respondents regarding the use of biomix, respondents were asked to give their view points to promote use of biomix. Later suggestions were sought by using open-ended questions. Further the responses were quantified and ranked. To interpret findings and draw conclusions, statistical tools such as frequency and percentage were used.
