Abstract

Present study assessed the performance of cluster front-line demonstration on mustard through improved varieties, seed inoculation, application of sulphur, disease and pest management on production and productivity. Cluster front-line demonstration were conducted during 2018-19 to 2020-21 in integrated crop management mode. KVK demonstrated the RGN-229 and DRMRIJ-31 (Giriraj) variety of mustard in Sirohi district. The result showed that under CFLD’s, the average yield of mustard were 18.13, 21.72, and 21.90 qha-1 as compare to 14.64, 16.90 and 16.98qha-1 recorded, average yield increase of 23.83, 28.52 and 28.97 per cent, and additional return of 17472, 21162 and 20656 rupees per hectare, respectively. The identified technology gaps are due to different soil fertility status, weather conditions and climate vulnerability. Cluster front line demonstration is a project sanction under National Mission on Oilseeds and Oil Palm (Mini Mission-I) for reducing the wide gap of oilseed dis

Conclusion

The study showed that integrated crop management of mustard gave high yield and net returns in demonstration practice than farmers practice in all tehsils of Sirohi district. The highest grain yield was attributed to higher potential with improved seed, proper sowing techniques and integrated management of nutrient, weed, disease, pest in accordance of package and practice. Economic analysis of different parameter’s revealed that net returns and additional gain were recorded highest with Demonstration practice. The study was concluded that Integrated crop management of mustard in demonstration practice proved beneficial in respect of yield, economics and gap analysis of mustard as compare to farmers practice. But additional extension work is required to reduce the gap between demand and supply as well as area under mustard crop.
