IMPACT STUDY OF FRONT LINE DEMONSTRATION ON PRODUCTIVITY OF PIGEON PEA (Cajanus cajan) AND CHICK PEA (Cicer arietinum) AT FARMERS FIELD IN CHHATTISGARH PLAIN OF MADHYA PRADESH
Journal Title: International Journal of Agriculture Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 53
Abstract
The study was conducted during Kharif, and Rabi seasons in adopted NICRA village Koste, Balaghat, Madhya Pradesh, India during 2012-13 to 2015-16. Demonstrations on pigeon pea and chickpea crops were carried out by the active participation of farmers with the objective to harness maximum potential of crops by demonstrating the improved technologies. The improved techniques including use of new high yielding variety, seed treatment with Rhizobium and PSB culture, soil test based balanced fertilizer application, timely weed management and integrated pest management. Demonstration was recorded higher yield as compared to farmers practice. The improve technology recorded higher yield of 1310kg/ha, and 1370 kg/ha pigeon pea and chickpea, respectively farmers practice 970 kg/ha and 1110 kg/ha. On the basis of increase in yield of pulses, the technological gap, extension gap, technology index were exercised. The improve technology gave higher gross return and net return with higher benefit cost ratio against farmers practice.
