Transfer of Technology to Bridge the Yield Gap in Sugarcane of South East Rajasthan

Study on technology gap of sugarcane was conducted in Bundi district of Rajasthan. The production of sugarcane for last 10–12 years is almost stagnating of about 60 ton/ha. It was found that adoption gap of sugarcane technologies was more in weed control followed by plant protection measures, time of sowing, irrigation, methods of sowing, high yielding varieties & seed rate respectively. The most important constraints faced by the farmers were irregular supply of electricity & canal water for irrigation in the cropping season, low price of produce in comparison to cost of cultivation, lack of confidence about purity of seeds.
