Agricultural education is a study of applied sciences and business management principles. One of the main purposes of agricultural education is to apply the knowledge and skills learned in several different disciplines to agricultural education. The medicinal plants such as Senna, Periwinkel, Gloriosa Superba, Aloevera and Coleus Forskohlii, are commercially cultivated under large areas of land in different parts of Tamilnadu. Gloriosa Superba has been cultivated as a commercial crop in Aravakurichi, Karur District since 2005. The study aims to identify the constraints experienced by the farmers cultivating Gloriosa Superba in Aravakurichi, Karur District. Primary data was collected from 186 farmers covering both small farmers and large farmers cultivating Gloriosa Superba from Velampadi, Nagampalli, Inunganur, Senthamangalam villages in Aravakurichi, Karur District. The major constraints faced by the farmers in the cultivation of Gloriosa Superba were classified into four categories such as situational constraints, financial constraints, technological constraints, and marketing constraints. The problems were ranked by the farmers by using Garett ranking technique in order to identify the most important constraint in each category. It was found from the findings that, among all the four categories, marketing constraint was identified as a key constraint faced by both small and large farmers in the study area.
