Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Porba District of Nagaland in collaboration with AICRP Soybean, SASRD, Medziphema conducted front line demonstrations with 20 beneficiaries of Thipuzu village during the Kharif season of 2020-21 and 2021-22. Soybean variety JS 335 was selected for demonstration with all improved practices along with a control plot where farmer’s practices were carried out. The results showed higher yield in demonstration plots (2215 and 2325 kg/ha) indicating the existence of technology gap and extension gap. The technology index ranged from 11 to 7 per cent showing a minor gap between technology evolved and technology adopted at farmer’s field. Lower technology index signifies the feasibility of the technology. The average net return (Rs.62800/-) and B.C. ratio (3.24) were also highest with improved technology as compared to farmers’ practice.
