Abstract - Turmeric farming, a cornerstone of agricultural activity in Erode, Tamil Nadu, has undergone substantial progress through the adoption of technology-oriented cultivation practices. This study explores the awareness and utilization of modern technologies among turmeric farmers, focusing on areas such as precision farming, irrigation management, pest control, and post-harvest processes. It examines the factors influencing technology adoption, including education levels, accessibility to resources, and governmental support. The findings spotlight the positive impact of technology on productivity, quality enhancement, and cost- effectiveness, while also identifying barriers such as inadequate training and financial constraints. Recommendations include targeted awareness programs, subsidies, and improved access to agricultural technology. The study underscores the importance of integrating digital tools and sustainable practices to empower turmeric farmers, enhance their livelihoods, and contribute to the region's agricultural growth.
