Abstract: The study was based on primary data collected from ninety farmers spread over 6 randomly selected mandals of Adilabad district, constituting 30 farmers each in marginal, small and large farmers categories. In this study we found that 4.55 quintals of Yield Gap II and 6.30 quintals of Yield Gap III were existing. Simulation of gross income indicated that bridging 25, 50 and 100 percent of Yield Gap II would increase the gross income per hectare by Rs.4208, Rs.8417 and Rs.16835, respectively. This study also found that lack of application of recommended dose of nutrients and plant protection chemicals were the major reasons for existing yield gaps. The constraint analysis revealed that lack of high yielding varieties along with incidence of pests were major threat to soybean cultivation.
