Abstract : This study investigates the direct and indirect effect of independent variables on the managerial ability of mango orchard growers. A survey was conducted among 200 respondents from the Talala and Vanthali block in the Gujarat state of India. Findings show that the education and adoption index were the most important variables affecting directly and positively on managerial ability. With respect to the first substantial indirect effect through variable education, the residual effect from the path was low in magnitude suggesting that the characteristics studied were sufficient to express their contribution towards managerial ability.
