In India, monocropping is a major drawback. This is also a holding back situation for low yielding states like Assam where monocropping accounts for approximately 46% of total cultivated rice area. This rice fallow can effectively and efficiently be utilized for increasing farm income through utera cropping. In order to find the thrust area of linseed under rice utera condition, a study was conducted in large blocks in a participatory mode in farmers’ field of Nagaon district of Assam in the year 2016-17 and 2017-18 with 103 numbers of demonstrations in 40 ha of land. The treatments were rice-linseed utera cropping with recommended practices compared with farmers practices in rice monocrop as check. Different yield attributing characters during demonstration and farmers’ practice were recorded and their yield gap, technology gap, extension gap and technology index were analyzed accordingly. The yield of linseed in Rice-L inseed cropping system reported 15.7 to 35.2 per cent higher over farmers’ monocrop system. On an average technology gap was recorded to be 3.55q/ha. While average extension gap was observed to be 5.75 q/ha. Average technology index was recorded as 29.58 per cent.
