The front line demonstration of black gram were conducted during the rainy season at 50 farmer's field to determine the production potential and economic benefit of improved technologies consisting suitable variety (PU-31), integrated nutrient management (20:50:20 kg N:P:K /ha + Rhizobium + P.S. B.@ 5 g per kg of seed) integrated pest management-Deep ploughing + seed treatment with Rhizobium + Quniolphos @1.5 lit/ha) at Dhar district of Madhya Pradesh (India) during kharif season of 2016-17 & to 2017-18. The results of demonstrations showed that farmers could increase the black gram productivity notably by switching over to improved variety and adoption of improved production technology. The improved technologies recorded mean yield of 11.06 q/ha, which was 32.47 percent higher than that obtained with farmers practices of 8.38 q/ha, The additional cost of Rs 1300 to 2350 gave additional net return, it was ranged Rs 7805 to Rs 11350 per hectare with increase benefit: cost ratio ranged from 1:3.9 to 1:4.1. The extension gap ranging between 2,55 to 3.00 q/ha. Data on technology index reduced from 12.91 to 4.16%, exhibited the feasibility of technology demonstration in this region. It can be concluded that the pulses production could be enhanced by encouraging the farmers through adoption of recommended technologies which were followed in the CFLDs.
