FRONT LINE DEMONSTRATION: A TECHNOLOGY TOOL TO ENHANCE THE FRUIT YIELD OF BRINJAL
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 51
Abstract
The field experiment was carried out as a on farm trial among 30 farmers with 1 ha areas of brinjal in the year 2015-16. Farmers are not getting good fruit yield of brinjal. The productivity of brinjal crop continues to be quite low due to infestation of disease & insect pest & not proper selection of cultivar of brinjal. The fruit yield of brinjal crop can be increased by the demonstrating the suitable cultivars at the farmers field under the supervision of scientists working in the operational area of KVK. It is observed after trial that farmers were planting brinjal crop as per the recommended practices with suitable cultivar recorded the higher fruit yield as comparison to the farmers practices. The results of the front line demonstration brings out that technology demonstrated is feasible and economic for the farmers and viable over the farmer’s practices. Percentage increase in the average fruit yield is quite high in the low input cost, so the demonstrated technology i.e. cultivar Pant Rituraj is suitable for the vegetable growers of the Banka district of Bihar.
