Abstract

The study aimed at assessing the performance of cluster frontline demonstration in terms of yield, technology gap, extension gap, technology index and economics analysis in green gram during Kharif 2018-19, 2019-20 and 2020-21 in Sirohi district with evaluating the performance of GAM-5 and GM-6 variety with all essential technical inputs. The result showed that average grain yield under demonstration were 5.41, 6.56 and 7.04 qha-1 as compare to 3.87, 4.78 and 4.92 qha-1 recorded in farmer’s practice. Average yield increases of 39.79, 37.24 and 43.09 per cent, and additional return of 13945, 12548- and 15255-rupees ha-1, respectively. Therefore, the results revealed that new varieties and improved package and practices with scientific intervention under cluster frontline demonstration programme remarkable increase the area, production and productivity of Green gram in Rajasthan by reducing the technology gap.

Keywords

Frontline demonstration, Greengram, Extension gap, Technology index.

Conclusion

The assessment of above study revealed that Integrated crop management of green gram gave higher yield and net returns in recommended practice than farmers practice in all block’s Sirohi district. Economic analysis on given parameters also showed that gross return, net returns and additional return were recorded higher in cluster front line demonstration, which entails that the cluster front line demonstration is an effective tool for enhance the area, production and productivity of pulses and changing the knowledge and skill of farmers. Hence, these improved technologies needs to be disseminate for wider adoption among the farmers in their respective agroclimatic system.
