Abstract

The study was conducted by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Chomu (Tankarda) District- Jaipur (Rajasthan) during rabi 2018-19 and 2019-20, to find out the yield gaps between scientific package and practices under cluster front line demonstration and farmer’s practice of mustard crop. The total 125 demonstrations with an area of 57.5 ha with active participation of farmers in seven different villages of Jaipur district. The improved technology consists of improved variety, seed treatment, weed management, nutrient management and plant protection measures. The results of study clearly indicated that the highest average yield was recorded 21.38q/ha in demonstration plot and lowest yield was recorded 15.97 q/ha in farmers practices. The highest average net return (Rs. 67274/ha) was obtained in the demonstration plot compared to farmers’ practice (Rs. 46328/ha). The average B:C ratio was 3.70 in demonstrated plot and 3.06 in farmer practices. The average yield increase percent was 33.90 % in demonstration plot as compared to farmer practices. The average extension gap 5.41 q/ha, technology gap 2.62q/ha and technology index 10.92 percent were recorded

Conclusion

It is concluded that based on the two years results of cluster front line demonstration with integrated crop management technology on mustard crop was found more productive, profitable and feasible in Jaipur district of Rajasthan. Demonstrated technologies were found effective for enhanced the yield and cluster front line demonstration were the most successful tools for transfer of technology for enhancing the productivity of mustard. So that, it is need to disseminate the improved variety with recommended technologies in the farmers field with extension methods such as training, field visits and field day
