The results showed 11.62-31.07% and 7.25-25.73% yield increase in demonstrated plots over control during respective years. Variety PU-31+seed treatment with Rhizobium sp. and PSB@10 g/kg + cow dung manure@750kg/ha, Trichoderma viridae@1.5kg/ha and Pseudomonas fluorescence @1.5kg/ha + Boron20% @1g/L + Dichlorvos 76% EC @ 1ml/L, Azadirachtin 10,000 ppm @ 1.5ml/L and Yellow Traps @ 15/acre + mixture of Mancozeb 50% and Carbendazim 25% WS @ 2.5gm/L recorded average highest yield (15.00 and 15.51q/ha) during respective years. The same trend was found in gross (Rs. 78456 and Rs. 77594/ha) and net returns (Rs. 63003 and Rs. 62358/ha) and benefit cost ratio (4.08 and 4.09) in T8 during respective years. The extension gap, technology gap and technology index were 2.8 and 2.08q/ha, 2.9 and 2.4q/ha and 17.88% and 15.00% during respective years.
