Impact assessment of demonstrations was carried out on cumin (variety-GC-4) and net additional return over farmers practice during Rabi seasons of 2010–11 and 2011–12. The data revealed that the yield in demonstration plots increased from 16.22 to 18.91% over farmers practice during the study period. Similarly, the economic analysis of data indicated higher B:C ratio. The adoption of variety GC-4 ranged from 78 to 98% in operational as well as in nearby villages. The use of improved variety GC-4 of cumin under semi-arid conditions of Nagaur proved superior with respect to adoption by farmers and productivity levels.
