The present study was carried out at KVK in Mau district of Uttar Pradesh to know the yield gaps between improved package of practices (IP) under Cluster Font Line Demonstrations (CFLD) and farmers practices (FP) of rapeseed mustard. It was revealed from the study that the yield of rapeseed mustard in IP under irrigated condition ranged from 20.89 to 21.55 q/ha, where as in FP it ranges between 16.94 to 17.25 q/ha. The percent increase in yield IP over FP was recorded in the range of 24.05 to 26.37. The extension gap and technological index were range between 4.70 - 5.36 q/ha and 20.42 percent respectively. The trend of technological gap reflected to farmer cooperation in carrying out the demonstrations in subsequent years. The cost benefit ratio was 3.57 and 3.42 under demonstration, while it was 3.24 to 3.47 under control plots. By conducting Cluster Front Line Demonstrations (CFLD) of proven technologies, yield potential of rapeseed mustard crop enhanced to a great extent with increase in the income level of farming community.
