Abstract

Frontline demonstrations were conducted at farmer's field across the country during 2013 to 2017 with the objective to demonstrate the impact of research emanated improved soybean production technology on soybean production under real farm situations. The results of 4518 frontline demonstrations revealed that the adoption of improved soybean technology enhanced the soybean yield to the tune of 28 percent as compared to farmer's practice. Break even yield analysis indicated the soybean yield would be higher than 741 and 647 kg/ha for profitable soybean production under current location specific market price of soybean.
