Transfer of technology to bridge the yield gap of sugarcane in south-east rajasthan

The study on technology gap of sugarcane was conducted in Bundi district of Rajasthan. The production of sugarcane for the last 10–12 years is almost stagnating of about 60 t/ha. It was found that adoption gap of sugarcane technologies was more in weed control followed by plant protection measures, time of sowing, irrigation, methods of sowing, high yielding varieties and seed rate, respectively. The most important constraints faced by the farmers were irregular supply of electricity and canal water for irrigation in the cropping season, low price of produce in comparison to cost of cultivation and lack of confidence about purity of seeds.
