GAINING ECONOMIC BENEFITS FROM FRONT LINE DEMONSTRATIONS OF CEREAL CROPS IN JHALAWAR DISTRICT OF RAJASTHAN PROVINCE
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 34
Abstract
Jhalawar is one high rainfall district falls under agro-climatic zone – V (South eastern Humid Plain zone) of Rajasthan. The average rainfall of the district is around about 950 to 1000 mm per year. Most of the area is irrigated. There are the two major cereal crops grown in the district i.e. Maize (Zea mays) during kharif and Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) during rabi season. The Krishi Vigyan Kendra also known as Farm Science Centre of the district laid down Front Line Demonstrations on these cereal crops under Integrated Village Livelihood Development Project (IVLDP) and ICAR for introducing new varieties along with scientific practices in their cultivation. The productivity as well as the economic returns of cereals in improved technologies (FLDs) were calculated and compared with the corresponding farmer's practices (local checks). Both the cereal crops maize and wheat recorded average higher gross returns Rsha-1 22833 and 41250, net return Rsha-1 11400 and 9000 and benefit cost ratio 2.16 and 1.28, respectively in improved technologies (FLDs) as compared to the plots where farmers were using traditional practices in their cultivation.
