Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 13
Abstract
Frontline demonstrations on improved variety of cumin GC-4 with recommended practices were conducted on 30 farmer's fields by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, JAU, Porbandar, Gujarat on 12-hectare area in different villages of Porbandar district during Rabi season of 2008-09 to 2010-11. The results revealed that improved variety of cumin GC-4 with recommended practices recorded significantly higher average grain yield of 852 kg ha-1, which was 13.1% higher than conventional variety with farmers’ practice (753 kg ha-1). The overall average extension gap of 98.50 kg ha-1 with technology gap (398 kg ha-1) and technology index (31.9) was recorded. The higher net return of Rs. 68836 ha-1 was obtained under the demonstration fields than farmers’ practice (Rs. 55720 ha-1) with additional return of Rs. 13116 ha-1. Benefit cost ratio was also considerably higher in demonstration plot (4.19) than farmer's practice (3.29). So, improved variety of cumin GC-4 with recommended package of practices should be adopted in Saurashtra region of Gujarat for gaining higher yield and profit from cumin cultivation.
