Technological and extension yield gaps in oilseeds crops in Mandsaur District of Madhya Pradesh

The technological and extension yield gaps of oilseeds were studied during kharif and rabi seasons of year 2016-17 to 2018-19 under cluster front line demonstrations programme of oilseed crops in Mandsaur district of Madhya Pradesh. It was revealed that there was a wide yield gap between potential and demonstrations yields in oilseed crops mainly due to technology and extension gaps. The maximum extension gap was found in mustard followed by linseed. By adopting the improved production technology of different crops, the productivity can be raised up to 24.42 per cent in soybean, 46.88 per cent in mustard and 52.83 per cent in linseed crops, respectively.
