Impact Assessment of Cluster Front Line Demonstration on Greengram Crop

The present study was conducted by KVK, Maulasar, Nagaur-II during 2018 to 2020 in the Kharif season with seventy five cluster frontline demonstrations at Nagaur district of Rajasthan. The results of demonstrations showed that farmers could increase the green gram productivity notably by adoption of improved production technology. From the present study, it was observed that the improved green gram variety GAM-5/GM-6 recorded the higher yield (6.17 q/ha) compared to the farmers’ practices variety (5.03 q/ha). The increase in the demonstration yield over farmer’s practices was 21.49 per cent. Technology gap, extension gap and the technology index values were 3.02 q/ha, 1.20 q/ha and 32.27 per cent, respectively. The increment in yield of green gram crop under demonstrated plot was due to spreading of improved and latest technology viz. improved variety, seed treatment with bio-fertilizers, optimum seed rate, right dose & method of fertilizers, weed management and plant protection measures.
