Correlates of improved production technology adoption for fetching maximum yield potentials of chickpea

The mounting population of India would need pulse production at large scale to provide health and food security. To achieve targeted chickpea production adoption of improved production technologies is must in major pulse crop like chickpea. Study was undertaken in Harda district to ascertain correlates of improved production technology adoption for fetching maximum yield potentials of chickpea through front line demonstrations (FLDs).The finding shows that education, size of land holding, annual income, marketing facilities and farm machinery were most important factors to effect the adoption of chickpea production technologies as the ‘r’ values were found 0.278 in case of education (significant at 5 per cent level of probability). Farmers harvested 15–25 percent more yield during year 2014–15 to 2016–17 by adoption of improved production technology.
