Groundnut is an important oilseed crop widely consumed in India, which plays a major role in supplementing the income of farmers. The cluster frontline demonstration (CFLD) was conducted by the ICAR- Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Koppal (Karnataka) with improved variety and package of practices in summer groundnut cultivation for two years (Summer, 2017-18 and 2018-19).The pod yield of summer groundnut crop was increased by demonstrating the improved variety and cultivation technologies at the farmer’s field under the supervision of scientists working in the operational area. During this period of study it was observed that improved variety(G-2-52) of demonstration recorded higher pod yield (12.35 and 13.57q/ha) than the farmer’s variety (Local check), where per cent increase in the yield was accounted 32.89 and 28.54 per cent for the year 2018-18 and 2018-19 respectively. The cluster front line demonstration were carried out in a systematic manner on farmer’s field to show the worth of a new variety and convincing farmers about potentialities of improved variety and production management practices of summer groundnut for further adoption
