Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 38
Abstract
Krishi Vigyan Kendras are the keys for facilitating the agricultural technology among the farmers field through Front Line Demonstration. This is the only way to make the reach about new technology at field level and way to collect first information regarding technology. Among high yielding varieties in okra, brinjal and tomato highest yield obtained 180 q/ha, 540 q/ha and 430 q/ha respectively. The demonstration conducted by KVK, Katihar and Nalanda on different high yielding vegetables recorded significant higher yield as comparison to control i.e. (farmers practice). Similarly, Spinach variety Pusa Anmol recorded maximum yield. Radish variety Pusa Chetki, Cauliflower Variety Sabour agrim and Carrot variety Pusa Kesar recorded highest average yield over farmers practice. Pusa Kesar and Sabour Agrim varieties were highly preferred by the farmers of Katihar district due to earliness of these cultivars. The extension gap is for most of the varieties/ hybrids were recorded more except Sabour Agrim, Pusa Kesar and Pusa Anmol. Low technology index regarding these varieties indicates to educate the farmers and it showed there is an urgent need to trained the farmers for rapid transfer of technology at field level.
